BSc Biochemistry

The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry program is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying life processes in both plants and animals. This interdisciplinary curriculum delves into the structure and function of biomolecules and their interactions, focusing on how these interactions drive essential biological functions such as energy transfer, metabolism, immune responses, and growth.

Offered by Pokhara University, this four-year program is structured into eight semesters, requiring students to complete 145 credit hours of full-time coursework. The program covers both theoretical and practical aspects of biochemistry, incorporating elements from biotechnology, immunology, molecular biology, clinical microbiology, and human anatomy and physiology. A thesis is also a prerequisite for graduation.

Program Objectives

The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry aims to prepare graduates for roles in technical and scientific fields, particularly within biomedical research. By the end of the program, students will:

• Grasp core concepts in biology, chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
• Demonstrate the ability to work competently and safely in laboratory environments.
• Show proficiency in using computer tools for research and data analysis.
• Exhibit strong analytical and critical thinking capabilities.
