Overview

The Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Biochemistry is a  3 year/ 6 semester specialised program offered by several Universities and Institution across India and aims to understand molecular mechanisms responsible for biological functions.

Biochemistry is a major and essential field in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. It is a critical link between the research and engineering needed to develop treatments for disease, improve agriculture practices, or solve environmental challenges. Through this program, students are trained for careers in research and applied work that promote health as well as innovations to the field of environmental management.

Students participate in various advanced laboratory skills modules and research methods throughout the program. The curriculum is built around the idea of critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem solving—some of the necessary traits to solve challenging biological problems. Students additionally learn how to use complex equipment and perform experiments illustrating the biochemical origins of life.
