On successful completion of a major or minor in Biochemistry And Molecular Biology, students will be able to:

 Learning outcome
1Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge in the chemical and physical principles governing the structure and function of biomolecules
2Exhibit a deep and integrated understanding of the underlying principles and applications of current techniques and model systems commonly used in biochemistry and molecular biology
3Examine the relationships between biomolecules, cells and tissues in health and disease
4Execute laboratory-based experiments using acquired knowledge and technical expertise
5Collate, analyse and critically interpret biochemical data acquired through experimentation
6Source, collate and critically evaluate a range of information sources in biochemistry and molecular biology, from primary literature to multimedia
7Communicate biochemical concepts and findings through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique
8Assess how molecules regulate living processes, using integrated knowledge of the structure, function and dynamics of biomolecules
9Implement ethical protocols and adhere to safe working conditions in their laboratory practice, including ensuring the accuracy, secure storage and curation of data
10Design an experimental plan in biochemistry and molecular biology, including: development of hypotheses and aims, identification of controls, and choice of relevant measurable outcomes
11Address authentic problems in biochemistry, working responsibly and ethically, and with consideration of social and cultural differences, in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
