Biochemistry (B. Sc.)

Biochemistry stands at the intersection of the classical subjects of chemistry, biology and medicine. With metabolic biochemistry and molecular biology in particular, biochemistry works to understand and explain the phenomena of life from the molecular level. Therefore, biochemists are involved in the scientific investigation of life processes in research as well as in the application of these findings in clinical and industrial settings.
Students earn an understanding of chemical and biochemical principles. They are able to apply the essential biochemical and molecular biological methods to scientific questions and are aware of the fundamental social importance of the subject.
