This is an Advanced Science Study Plan/Major in Biochemistry.

This Biochemistry Study Plan is closely allied to the Genetics plan and the Molecular Biology plan all of which are concerned with understanding life processes at the level of molecular structure, function and interaction. The Biochemistry Study Plan therefore provides a knowledge base and a broad range of specialised techniques, which are relevant to all biology.

The major impact of this discipline is largely at the molecular level and is ideal for those students whose interests are in understanding and appreciating biological processes at the molecular rather than the descriptive level. Integration of these molecular approaches at the cellular, tissue and whole organism level is an increasingly important part of biochemistry.

Biochemistry is also the foundation of medical science and is playing an increasingly important role in many aspects of modern medicine. This Study Plan provides opportunities to combine Biochemistry with other related discipline areas through careful choice of elective courses in Stages 2 and 3 of the plan.
