Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Major study in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Separate structures of this major exist students depending upon whether they had previously completed third year level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects prior to 2009.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major

For students who have completed one or more third year level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects prior to 2009.

The requirement of one compulsory third year level practical subject for a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology still stands.

It can either be one of the pre-2009 subjects (521-321 Gene Technology and Protein Expression or 521-322 Protein Biochemistry and Proteomics) OR the 2009 subject Advanced Techniques in Molecular Science.

The remainder of the 50 points can be made up of any combination of third year level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects (pre-2009 and current subjects).

NOTE:
If a student finds that these pathways to a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are not possible in 2009 due to clashes with other subjects, they should contact Associate Professor Ian van Driel (i.vandriel@unimelb.edu.au) or Associate Professor Paul Gooley (prg@unimelb.edu.au), who will work with individual students to try and ensure successful completion of the major.

It is highly recommended that students majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology complete both Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics and Protein Structure and Function, or the equivalent pre-2009 subjects, as this will provide the best grounding in the discipline.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major (commencing 2009)

For students who have not completed any third year level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects prior to 2009.

Completion of 50 points of study at third year level.
