Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The Bachelor of Biochemistry program (180 ECTS) provides comprehensive education in biochemistry and related fields. Biochemistry is a science that investigates life processes in organisms using primarily chemical, physical, and molecular biological methods, and determines the basic and application-oriented research in many areas of biology, medicine, and agriculture. The curriculum includes core modules in general biochemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, genetics, microbiology, and specialized biochemistry topics. The program emphasizes three main areas: protein biochemistry, RNA biochemistry, and plant biochemistry. Students must complete mandatory foundation modules (116 LP) and select specialization project modules (39 LP) in areas such as protein biochemistry, molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, biophysical chemistry, plant biochemistry, or molecular genetics. The program concludes with a bachelor thesis (15 LP) in the 6th semester.
