The University of Sydney
Bachelor of Science (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationOur Bachelor of Science offers more than 40 science majors, programs and streams to choose from (everything from biology and chemistry to nanoscience and physics) plus a pool of shared majors from across the University and a flexible degree plan. It enables you to find your own path.
Dream of joining the forefront of research or making the planet a better place? In your first year, you'll gain essential knowledge in the fundamental sciences. In second and third years you will specialise in your chosen pathway with the option to take elective subjects from across the University.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Major
The major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will provide you with a thorough understanding of the chemistry of life and the molecules that regulate living processes. This major emphasises how these molecules pass information and energy within and between cells, and from generation to generation, and how these processes impact form and function. This major is ideally suited for students who wish to study fundamental molecular processes that underlie normal physiology and disease in all kingdoms of life.
