Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biochemistry

University of Canterbury

The Bachelor of Science with Honours degree is made up of one full-time year of coursework that includes a research component. Subject areas range from Astronomy to Statistics, and you may complete the programme in two subjects if desired (combined honours). For more information about why you should consider studying a postgraduate Science programme at UC, see the Postgraduate Prospectus. Biochemistry is the study of life at the cellular level, giving us insight into the history of all living species - animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses - and how they function. Biochemistry knowledge can be applied in broad and diverse ways, such as genetic engineering, conservation and restoration, biomedical science, and disease treatment. Study Involve: Practical exercises and labs. There is exciting research happening at UC and you can learn from many of our experts through Te Pokapu Taunekeneke Rapoi Ngota, Biomolecular Interaction Centre, with connections to other universities, industry, and international collaborators. You can also minor in Biochemistry within many different bachelor’s degrees to give your other studies a biological focus.
