Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

4 Years Degree Program

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Biochemistry combines biology and chemistry to study living matter. It powers scientific and medical discovery in fields such as pharmaceuticals, forensics and nutrition. With biochemistry, you will study chemical reactions at a molecular level to better understand the world and develop new ways to harness these.
