Overview 

This program provides a strong grounding in core biological sciences while developing specialized expertise in molecular processes and dietary science. Students examine chemical reactions within human cells, exploring how nutrients influence health, metabolic function, and disease prevention. Offered by Murdoch University, the course equips future science professionals with the technical capabilities required to address global health challenges and advance biomedical research.

What You'll Learn

• Principles of cellular biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and metabolic pathways.

• Human nutritional science, dietary assessment methodologies, and nutrient metabolism mechanisms.

• Physiological roles of macro- and micro nutrients in maintaining physiological balance and preventing illness.

• Bio analytical laboratory techniques, experimental design, and biochemical assay procedures.

• Scientific research methodologies, data analysis, and critical evaluation of nutritional literature.

Learning Outcomes 

Graduates evaluate complex biochemical processes and nutritional profiles to assess their impacts on human health and metabolic function. By applying bioanalytical techniques, experimental frameworks, and scientific data interpretation, students formulate evidence-based insights to support health promotion, disease prevention, and biomedical research initiatives.
