Overview
Biochemistry is one of the most fascinating subjects as it deals with the chemical language of Life, be it human, animal, plant or microorganism. Biochemistry is one of the most upcoming and highly in demand subject in the Indian as well as the foreign universities. The basic foundation in Biochemistry is a necessary pre-requisite for any kind of life science, biotechnological, medical, paramedical and biological research activity.
The long-term research goals for the Biochemists, are to place as a research laboratory engaged in high quality research on plant molecular biology, cancer and neurobiology, antimicrobials and discovering novel drug molecules and mechanisms for prevention of human diseases including metabolic diseases, cancer and genetic diseases
With NEP-2020 in background, the curricula articulate the spirit of the policy by emphasizing upon integrated approach to learning; innovative pedagogies and assessment strategies; multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary education; creative and critical thinking; ethical and Constitutional values through value-based courses; 21st century capabilities across the range of disciplines through life skills, entrepreneurial and professional skills; community and constructive public engagement; social, moral and environmental awareness; Organic Living and Global Citizenship Education (GCED); holistic, inquiry-based, discovery-based, discussion based, and analysis-based learning; exposure to Indian knowledge system, cultural traditions and classical literature through relevant courses offering ‘Knowledge of India’; fine blend of modern pedagogies with indigenous and traditional ways of learning; flexibility in course choices; student-centric participatory learning; imaginative and flexible curricular structures to enable creative combination of disciplines for study.
The curriculum to aligned with NEP 2020 with a uniform template featuring; Outcomes, Programme Specific Outcomes, Postgraduate Attributes, Structure of Masters Course, Learning Outcome Index, Semester-wise Courses and Credit Distribution, Course-level Learning Outcomes, Teaching-Learning Process, Blended Learning, Assessment and Evaluation, Keywords.
Programme Objective
The Students of M.Sc. Biochemistry programme will learn experimentally and theoretically about the chemistry of biological phenomenon of living organisms. The course aims to provide the skills of identifying scientific issues, developing hypothesis based on literature, designing experiments and displaying results for betterment of mankind.
The M.Sc. Biochemistry course at the School of Biosciences, SRHU, has been designed on the basis of learning outcome based curriculum framework (LOCF) motto. The course covers the fundamental and advanced areas of Biochemistry with a range of core subjects in each semester. Along with providing the traditional biotechnology knowledge, the course also has enough scope for inter- and multi-disciplinary subjects in the form of electives. This course also caters the skill enhancement needs of the students as well as provides opportunity for collaboration and learning from other disciplines in the form of general elective courses, and thus enabling the students to broaden their horizon in complementary subjects. Every semester has a practical course for strengthening their skills in designing and conducting experiments in the field of Biochemistry. The six-month dissertation in the last semester orients and prepares the students for research and development in academia and industry
