B.Sc. (Biochemistry) degree course covers the study of the minute characteristic of an organism along with its biological processes. In this course, a student will come to know about the structure and function of cellular components involved in biological processes such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, heredity etc., as well as the effect of the environment on living organisms. After B Sc graduation, students have the option to go for higher studies or to search jobs in the related area.

Higher Studies Options after B Sc Biochemistry

After successful completion of the B.Sc. (Biochemistry) degree students do M Sc Biochemistry. By completing this, students can do research programmes such as PhD or M.Phil degree in Biochemistry. If an individual reach up to this level he is eligible to apply for hi-profiled jobs such as Lecturer in Universities/College.

Specialization in Bioinformatics, Genetics, Development and Disease, Plant biology is another option for B.Sc. (Biochemistry) degree holders. They can also go for specialization in Cell biology and Signaling, Energy and Metabolism, Molecular Biology etc. B.Sc. (Biochemistry) degree holders acquire skills in both Chemistry and biology as the course covers both the subjects. This course can also help in other fields like medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
