| Learning Outcome: | Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of key biochemical concepts, including metabolism, enzymology and signal transduction, and apply this knowledge to interdisciplinary research problems.
- Develop analytical skills: Independently formulate strategies to solve complex biochemical problems by integrating bioanalytical techniques with basic biochemical principles.
- Apply critical thinking in analysing and discussing biochemical processes from different perspectives and the ability to think critically about scientific concepts and their applications in biotechnology.
- Collaborate effectively through group discussions and communicate and collaborate in a research-orientated environment.
- Apply practical knowledge and link theoretical knowledge to real-world applications of biochemistry.
