About the course

Biochemistry examines living systems at the molecular level, focusing on the components of cells, their formation, and interactions. This encompasses understanding how molecular machines operate, how drugs bind to and inhibit targets, how membranes and viruses interact, and how cellular signals are transmitted. In this program, students explore the structure and function of macromolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, as well as biological systems ranging from cell extracts to whole organisms.Biochemistry underpins modern drug design and development through the analysis of 3D structures of drugs and their protein targets, complementing pharmacology and drug delivery. It also applies to industries such as food, brewing, and cosmetics. Within biological sciences, which cover topics from animal-environment interactions to gene expression, students can choose from 12 subject areas, including biochemistry, with flexibility to explore and specialize early on. The curriculum develops skills in data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking, preparing graduates for diverse scientific roles.
