Biochemistry
and molecular biology is a discipline that is central to all the life sciences
and biomedical sciences. It seeks to describe the molecular basis of living
systems from viruses to humans.
Biochemistry and molecular biology are first offered as subjects at the
second-year level. Many students will wish to make biochemistry and molecular
biology a major field of study in the second and third years of the course. For
these students, the second-year subject combinations BCH2011 (The molecules of
life) and BCH2022 (Energy metabolism of cells and tissues), together with
MOL2011 (Molecular biology: genes and their expression) and MOL2022 (Molecular
biology: gene technology and its application) are needed for entry into
third-year subjects. In 2000, BCH3011 (Biomolecules and technology) and BCH3022
(Molecular biology of the cell) are ofered for third-year students as two
sequential 12-point subjects, one in each semester.
The fourth-year subject BCH4000 (Biochemistry and molecular biology),
incorporating research training as well as minor coursework, leads to the
degree of Bachelor of Science with honours in biochemstry and molecular
biology.
In 2000, the subjects BCH3031 (Biomedical biochemistry and molecular biology)
and BCH3042 (Biochemistry and molecular biology of disease) provide two
sequential, 12-point subjects, one in each semester, for students completing
the third year of the BSc (Biomedical) degree course. These subjects also lead
to the biochemistry and molecular biology honours subject BCH4000.
MOL2011 and MOL2022 are offered in conjuntion with the departments of Biological Sciences and Microbiology
