| Description: | The study of molecules is one of the more important research-active scientific disciplines. Learn about the molecular structure and potential uses of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates... how do they work? And what happens when they don't? Changes and new developments in biochemistry happen at a rapid pace and the need for well-trained Christian scientists becomes even more critical. Biochemistry plays an important role in our world today and grounding yourself in a Biblical perspective prepares you to grapple with the inevitable ethical and philosophical questions that arise.
Right from the start, small class sizes allow for meaningful class discussion, led by professors who are actively researching in the field and excited to include students in their work. First-year courses provide foundational skills and knowledge in multiple science disciplines, giving you an interdisciplinary understanding of the topics that you'll dig into later on in your studies. Many classes, already in your first year, include a lab component where you'll participate in real-world experiments and use professional-grade equipment.
Biochemistry is a Bachelor of Science degree program. It is offered as an honours major. |
