Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Overview
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is taught within the School of Life and Environmental Sciences in the Faculty of Science. Units of study in this major are available at standard and advanced levels.
About the major
Students who complete a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will gain a thorough understanding of the chemistry of life and the molecules that regulate living processes, with an emphasis on how these molecules pass information and energy within and between cells, as well as from generation to generation, and how these processes impact form and function. This major is ideally suited for students who wish to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie normal physiology and disease in all kingdoms of life.
Requirements for completion
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major and minor requirements are listed in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology unit of study table.
Honours
Honours in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology may be undertaken in certain appended honours degrees. Admission requirements and unit of study information can be found on the Honours unit of study table. Read how to apply for honours as a current student.
