The syllabus for the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Microbiology and Biochemistry is as follows:
Students will be introduced to organic chemistry, they will also learn some aspects of physical chemistry. These will act as foundation to understanding how the biological processes function. In practical classes they will develop skills in determining several parameters in physical chemistry that have a direct implication in the living system. RBPT component will also be introduced to augment skills already developed in the first semester.
In this semester students will be exposed to fundamental concepts in inorganic chemistry, environmental chemistry and organic chemistry which will help in developing skills in addressing how life evolved and how the inorganic world is closely entwined with the natural world.
Students will develop a theoretical understanding of analytical techniques that will permit them to study the biological system and the processes therein. In the practical component they will have hands on experience of how to handle instruments and analyze data.
Students will be introduced to biomolecules and how they function. They will be able to correlate all the chemistry they learnt in the first four semesters and understand how beautifully the animate world obeys all the natural, chemical and physical laws. They will learn to isolate, identify and assay the biomolecules. They will also develop skills in conducting independent research as part of an ongoing project work.
From an understanding of biomolecules the focus shifts to an understanding of the processes involved in the biological system from reactions occurring at the cell surface to the degradation of molecules and their synthesis. Modern techniques in molecular and cellular chemistry will be developed and understood.
