PROPOSED CURRICULUM BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BIOCHEMISTRY

Abstract

The Biochemistry Programme is academically oriented and designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of'f the discipline. The programme offers training in problem solving mainly using a molecular approach. Biochemistry specialists will gain experience in critical thinking and the skills required to evaluate scientific rationale. The programme will also recognize the necessity of research to keep abreast of and to be part of the changes taking place in their area of specialization.

This course has many fields i.e. cancer research, cell biology,enzymology,food and nutrition, signal transduction, toxicology, environmental biochemistry, molecular biologyand biotechnology etc. After completing the Biochemistry course, an individual can have great career opportunities such as molecular biology,marine biology,industrial chemistry, virology,genetics and horticulture.

After completing this course, will have gained scientific knowledge and develop various ways to apply its knowledge in specialized areas like medicine, agriculture, veterinary science, environmental science and manufacturing. As a Biochemist, an individual may perform many tasks such as:- • chemical processes that occur within individual cells

• study the processes like digestion and growth that involve whale organisms • undertake the detailed analysis of chemical with the usage of sophisticated instruments and techniques The course will open avenues for employment in various sectors of the economy in government, private sector and corporate.
