About B.Sc. Biochemistry Course
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Biochemistry is a three-year undergraduate program designed for students passionate about exploring the chemical and molecular basis of life. This course combines the principles of biology and chemistry to help students understand how living organisms function at the cellular and molecular levels.
Through this program, students gain in-depth knowledge of biomolecules, enzymes, genetics, cell biology, and metabolic processes. The curriculum blends theoretical learning with practical laboratory training, preparing graduates for diverse scientific and industrial careers.
Biochemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of chemical processes in a living organism. Students can able to learn and understanding the basic concepts of pH, Buffer and biochemical estimation of sugars, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and several biochemical reactions carried out by enzymes.
The Honor’s and Master ‘s degree in Biochemistry involves the understanding the core biochemistry, structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes, fats and acquaintance with analytical techniques and Hands on experience of handling instruments.
