BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Okanagan) in Kelowna Canada | The University of British Columbia

Explore life at its most fundamental level through biochemistry and molecular biology, examining the chemical processes within living organisms. This program offers diverse foundational and advanced courses, including metabolic pathways, winemaking chemistry, pharmacology, and other specialized topics. Focus your studies on either biochemistry or the medical applications of cellular and molecular biology.

Earn your UBC degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, concentrating on proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids—the essential building blocks of life. Select between two specialization tracks: General Biochemistry or Medical Biochemistry.

Biochemists analyze cellular structures and their molecular mechanisms, investigating macromolecules' roles in metabolic processes, regulatory systems, and the effects of genetic or metabolic imbalances. Graduates in this field may pursue careers in large-scale biochemical production, human genome mapping, or developing genetically modified crops with enhanced resilience to environmental stress, disease, and pests.
