Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Biochemistry

Adelaide University

Biochemistry reveals the mechanisms that sustain every form of life. It bridges the gap between biology and chemistry, shedding light on the processes that keep living cells functioning and adapting.A Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Biochemistry immerses you in the foundations of health, disease and development at a molecular level. Investigate how essential molecules work together. Discover how cells generate and use energy. Explore how genes shape everything from physical characteristics to disease risk. Studying a Bachelor of Science (Honours) opens the door to understanding the fundamental principles that shape our world. You major in Biochemistry will look at a molecular level of life – exploring the roles of proteins, DNA, RNA and other crucial molecules. Discover how cells generate energy and how genetics influence traits and disease risks.Gain practical experience with extensive laboratory training and over 180 hours of hands-on lab work. You’ll master advanced techniques in molecular biology and biomedical science. You’ll learn from leading scientists and consider the ethical factors of modern scientific practices. In your third year, a professional placement or focused project will further develop your expertise.
