Applied biology - Faculty of Science

Coordinator: Ms Jenny Mosse, School of Applied Sciences and Engineering

The discipline

The School of Applied Sciences and Engineering offers major sequences in applied biochemistry and applied microbiology and a minor sequence in human physiology. Both major sequences have a strong emphasis on modern experimental techniques and their relevant medical, industrial and environmental applications.

The minor sequence in human physiology looks at the relationship between structure and function in the human body. This sequence complements the applied biochemistry and psychology major sequences.
