Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computational Biochemistry
ObjectivesAs a student of Biochemistry at Carleton University, you will be provided with a solid foundation in Biology and Chemistry, as well as with many opportunities to apply your knowledge to modern-day challenges facing the discipline. Our programs help you understand how advancements in biochemistry can be successfully applied to a wide range of issues. By developing a strong foundation in both basic and applied science, you will become a better scientist, and your undergraduate education will allow you greater flexibility throughout your career.
Practical experienceOur Biochemistry programs provide you with hands-on work experience in well-equipped laboratories. If you are an Honours Biochemistry student, you will have the additional opportunity to develop a research project in an area of special interest, working alongside a faculty adviser. Not only will you graduate with exceptional hands-on experience with some of the most up-to-date methodology, but you will also have a defined area of expertise.
