There are a lot of science subjects available and they are divided into several branches. The JAMB and WAEC subject combination for one course might not be the same with another. JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Biochemistry are what you will get in this post.
Some students are courses are change during admission because of the combination of wrong subjects in JAMB and WAEC. This post will tell you what you need to know about Biochemistry. It will also bring the universities offering this course in the country.
What You Need to Know About Biochemistry
Biochemistry is a science course that explores the chemical processes of living organisms. This curse brings together chemistry and biology. Since it is a science course, it is only suitable for this set of students. It will take students about four years to study this course at the university if there is no carryover.
This course is very competitive and students might find the entrance to be difficult. The job available for Biochemistry is also much but at the same time very competitive. Below are some of the careers for one who studied Biochemistry
- Biochemist
- Pharmaceutical Chemist
- Physician
- College Professor
- Forensic Scientist
- Food Scientist
- Biotech or Pharmaceutical Sales Representative
- Science Journalist
- Biomedical Engineer
