Bachelor of Science in Medical Biochemistry (B.Sc. Medical Biochemistry) at Nobel is an eight semesters and four year course. The program focuses mainly on medical biochemistry.
Biochemistry is at the core of all modern biology. Advances in areas as diverse as medicine, plant breeding and industrial biotechnology are dependent on a firm understanding of the underlying metabolic processes.
The course in biochemistry aims to provide a solid grounding in the fundamentals of metabolism and molecular Biology leading to a study of the application of this knowledge in the real world, this applied focus of the course equips students for careers not only in education and research but also in the different setting of health care.
Graduates shall be trained mainly to carry out work in the field of medical biochemistry.
Objectives
- To produce technical professional by promoting and strengthening their knowledge leading to a Master’s degree in Medical Biochemistry.
- To inculcate in student the fundamental concepts and latest developments in Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
- To raise awareness of students in the major issues facing the discipline.
