PROGRAMME GOALS

To produce graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree who can understand and practise their
knowledge effectively and ethically in the public sector and the biochemical industries locally or internationally by:-

1. Producing graduates who possess a strong foundation in theory and practical knowledge in the field of biology to be
applied in the various fields related to biochemistry.
2. Producing biochemistry graduates who constantly upgrade themselves in seeking, sharing and applying knowledge
and skills in the general sciences and particularly in biochemistry through scientific, professional and ethical means
for global development.
3. Producing biochemistry graduates with the intellectual imagination and the abilities to provide alternative proposals
and creative solutions in respect of analysing issues and problems related to biochemistry.
4. Producing biochemistry graduates with the abilities to adapt and apply their biochemistry knowledge to stake a claim
in employment, industries and society.
5. Producing biochemistry graduates who are able to communicate effectively and demonstrate the attitudes and ethics
of a responsible citizen.

PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry programme, graduates are able to:-

1. Have an in-depth knowledge in the understanding of the concepts and principles of biology particularly in the field of
biochemistry.
2. Have mastered the skills and relevant techniques which can be applied for evaluation and analysis of various
situations and to design and implement a project systematically.
3. Assess the requirements and the importance of social responsibility and transparency necessary to support
environmental development while practising biochemistry.
4. Demonstrate the importance of ethics and the need for professional conduct while practising biochemistry.
5. Present knowledge and ideas clearly and effectively both orally and in writing and possess leadership qualities as
well as being able to work as a team.
6. Assimilate and apply scientific methods in problem solving in the work environment.
7. Use information management skills and lifelong-learning capabilities to design and develop biochemistry projects with
the basic knowledge in science and biochemistry.
8. Plan and implement effectively entrepreneurship projects in the field of biochemistry through the efficient
management of time and resources.
