This subject is designed to extend a general knowledge of chemistry into biological chemistry, and is particularly suited to provide additional background for other major subjects in the biological areas, for example physical geography, botany, zoology, microbiology, physiology etc. Units taught by different lecturers include biochemical analysis, chemistry of drugs, bioorganic, bioinorganic and biophysical chemistry. The details of all units may be obtained from the department at enrolment. Practical work is an integral part of the subject. Some units will have a written assignment as part of their assessment.
