BSc in Biochemistry (Honours) Co-Op in St. Catharines Canada | Brock University

Biochemistry explores the molecular composition, arrangement, and operations of living organisms. Its objectives include discovering the chemical elements and biomolecules (like DNA, RNA, and proteins) within cells, understanding their roles, interactions, integration into biological networks, and their impact on cellular and organismal functions. The Biochemistry Program offers a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with in-depth knowledge of living systems at the molecular level. This interdisciplinary program is collaboratively administered by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry.

At Brock University, our instructional and research laboratories are integrated. Students employ cutting-edge techniques and instruments—the same advanced equipment used by faculty in their research—to tackle biochemical challenges. The program starts with foundational courses in chemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. During third and fourth years, students can specialize in either biological or chemical disciplines, selecting from coursework covering metabolic processes, enzyme mechanisms, macromolecular architecture, genetic information systems, and bio-organic/biophysical chemistry.
