Biochemistry is the study of molecules and chemical processes in living organisms, while Cell Biology is concerned with the structure and physiology of cells, their components, and interactions with the environment. The two fields are combined in one comprehensive degree program, which will give you a broad understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that form the basis of life, including the principles of inheritance and gene expression. This allows BCCB graduates to address in their careers important problems in today's society, be it by basic or by applied research, for example in the areas of biomedicine, biotechnology, or molecular biology. For this, the BCCB program at Constructor University provides not only the theoretical background, but also substantial practical training. Students are, furthermore, involved in hands-on research during their studies.

Our Biochemistry BSc will give you the skills and knowledge to establish yourself in a range of careers related to biochemistry, including the pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology industries. Biochemistry is a pivotal degree discipline and a fundamental part of all the biological sciences. It is the study of living systems at the molecular level, and biochemists study the ways in which cells and organisms are formed. This involves examining the structure and function of molecules found in living systems, as well as experimental investigations of the properties of biological systems ranging in complexity from cell extracts to whole organisms, and elucidating the roles of specific genes in the cells in which they are expressed. The foundation of our course is our thriving research in diverse areas of biochemistry, including biotechnology, cancer biology, membrane transport, molecular diagnostics and therapeutics, plant biochemistry, and protein structure. In this degree, you'll gain a sound foundation in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and analytical biochemical techniques. Your laboratory and research skills will be developed throughout your degree, culminating in your final-year project in which you'll undertake original research of your own.

Our Biochemistry degree is recognised by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB).

Biochemistry is the molecular basis of life. It applies chemical principles to some of the most exciting problems in the life sciences industry. Biochemistry explains how drugs work, helps us understand what goes wrong in diseases, and enables ‘genetic engineering‘. Consequently, the subject is essential to drug discovery, biotechnology and biomedical research.

Want to make a big impact? Start by thinking small—at the molecular level. As a chemistry student, you'll explore matter’s composition and use this knowledge to improve lives, from creating effective medicines to ensuring clean water and developing innovative, long-lasting materials.

Biochemistry offers an understanding of the biological and chemical processes that allow life to thrive, giving us the tools we need to solve key challenges in cell biology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, and genetics. Advances in the field have revolutionised our knowledge of how biochemistry works and the mechanisms that underpin a wide range of cellular processes.

Our students in chemistry and biochemistry are sought after within the chemical and biochemical industries in the region because at Lakeland you will be involved, engaged, and invested. You won’t sit in a large auditorium robotically taking notes while a professor lectures through a microphone. Our faculty gets to know our students personally and helps connect them to our industry leaders through our innovative Cooperative Education program.

Biophysical chemistry uses physical science to understand complex biological systems. Our biophysical chemistry major is extremely multidisciplinary and designed for intensive hands-on learning. Students in this major will develop a solid foundation in chemistry and physics in order to explore the inner workings of biological systems. Our faculty is dedicated to engaging students outside the classroom in mentored research projects, and students are trained in the use of equipment and instrumentation found in top research laboratories.

This programme is the only course of its kind in the Mid-West and Western regions of the country. Process engineering is the central area of expertise underpinning many important, sustainable industries and businesses within both the Irish and global economies. Such enterprises include: biopharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and drug manufacture, energy production, food and beverage processing, environmental waste remediation, and electronic component manufacture.

Loras College Biochemistry program provides students the opportunity to develop a strong foundation in chemical principles and to apply their training in the lab. This foundation enables Biochemistry graduates to pursue a very wide range of options after graduation including graduate school or a chemistry-related field; going directly into the workforce for a career in the chemical industry, government, education, engineering, forensic science, or the law; or entering interdisciplinary fields such as medicine, dentistry, other health professions, education and more.

A career in the sciences has never been more critical. At Stevenson, our Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry program allows you to explore the interdependent nature of the areas of chemical, physical, and biological science.

The Bachelor of Science degree with a joint major in biochemistry and microbiology enables students to acquire superior knowledge about the functioning of life on a microscopic scale and to develop advanced skills in the laboratory.

The study of biochemistry is an examination of life at the elemental level. It focuses on the processes happening within cells and the structures found inside them. Biochemistry is a combination of biology and chemistry—with a focus on life processes at the cellular and even molecular level. Biochemists work in an ever-growing variety of fields, such as food science, immunology, pharmaceuticals, genetics, agriculture, and environmental science.

Merges coursework in physical, life and applied sciences to provide well-rounded, pre-professional training needed to start your career. Explore the chemical and physical processes that occur in living organisms in a stimulating learning environment with small classes that encourage interaction between fellow students and professors and well-rounded lab experiences.

The Chemistry Department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry or Biochemistry as well as a minor in Chemistry. Students may also choose to double major in Biochemistry and Biology or Biochemistry and Chemistry. The department also provides advising and coursework for students interested in applying to pharmacy school.
