Courses offered in Biochemistry

There are a variety of courses in Biochemistry that you can opt for if you wish to make your career in this department of science. These include:

• Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry: It is a three-year course that will provide you with a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry.

• Master of Science in Biochemistry: After the bachelor’s degree, you can always go for a two-year master’s degree in the same.

• M.Phil in Biochemistry

• PhD in Biochemistry

• You can also go for M.D in Biochemistry. However, an M.B.B.S. degree is an essential requirement for that.

The study of Biochemistry also includes certain specialization fields. These include:

• Molecular biology

• Energy and metabolism

• Bioinformatics

• Genetics

• Development and diseases

• Cell biology and signalling

• Plant biology

Admission in colleges for an undergraduate programme in biochemistry is usually entrance based, which is conducted by the university itself. Significant consideration is given to the 10+2 results as well.

For a master’s degree, the selection is entrance as well as merit-based. PhD in biochemistry yields a good salary. However, it is possible only if the biochemist is experienced and has a good skill set. Selection for PhD courses is through the qualification of entrance tests (For instance, UGC-NET, CSIR, GATE and personal interviews.

Hello Aspirant

If forensic biology and DNA analysis are preferred, take microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry courses. Those interested in the toxicology aspects of this work should study physiology, biochemistry, and chemistry.

The forensic chemistry field is guardedly optimistic about job prospects for the future. Greater interest in the use of DNA analysis is expected to create jobs. Those interested in DNA work should keep up with the rapidly changing technology and develop skills that distinguish them from the pack.

Hope it helps

Thank you & Good Luck!!!
