BA/BS in Biochemistry

The Biochemistry bachelor's programme at Vilnius University centres on the chemical processes that take place inside living organisms. It links chemistry with biology and medicine, and it prepares students to work on problems in those fields and on the development of new biotechnologies. The early part of the course builds a base in chemistry, covering general, analytical, physical, organic, quantum and bioinorganic chemistry. Students then move on to biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and related subjects, which deepen their grasp of how living systems function. Laboratory sessions give hands-on experience with current research methods. Graduates are prepared for careers in science and innovation, where combined chemical and biological training is applied to research and technology development. The programme suits students who want to understand life at the molecular level and are comfortable combining laboratory work with theoretical study.
