Conjoint: BGlobalSt/BSc major in Biological Sciences - Biochemistry and Cell Biology Pathway

Biochemistry and Cell Biology pathway
If you're on this pathway you'll study the structure and function of molecules and how they interact inside cells.

You can study Biological Sciences as a major in the Bachelor of Science (BSc).
Biology lies at the core of New Zealand’s economic and natural environments. The biological sciences have never been more important for preserving our economic prosperity and the natural biodiversity of our islands in the face of global threats such as climate change and population growth.
Discovery in the biosciences has advanced at breathtaking speed, leading to a new generation of therapies in health and medicine, sustainable consumer-focused products in ag biotech industries, and novel strategies for the protection of fragile ecosystems.

The Biological Sciences major captures the transformational potential of modern bioscience across all areas, giving students an integrated knowledge base across the discipline, with training in the relevant skillsets for employment in this area while offering the opportunity for specialist study choices in niche areas.
