Bachelor of Science with a Major in Biomolecular Sciences

Biomolecular sciences embodies the analysis, transformation and manipulation of molecules and the molecular interpretation of the world around us. Biomolecular scientists have been responsible for developing non-invasive cancer diagnoses and rapid pathogen detection, novel medicines and new ways to produce cheap, renewable energy. Those with expertise in this field are critical to our future development.

This major will help you understand how molecules form, interact and influence the structure and function of biological systems. You’ll learn how to apply knowledge of the biomolecular sciences to solve theoretical and practical problems. And you’ll engage in structured research and be able to present concepts and results to diverse audiences using a variety of modes of communication.
