ATBU-B.Tech. Biochemistry

Brief

The Department of Biochemistry, ATBU Bauchi, runs a Bachelor of Technology programme leading to the award of B. Tech Biochemistry, which is a five years programme. Biochemistry programme is designed to enable graduates acquire broad based knowledge of chemical processes in living organisms ranging from single to multi- cellular organisms, both plants and animals. The first year of the programme is designed to prepare the students to acquire sound background knowledge of relevant science subjects, which would be a foundation to prepare them for specialized knowledge of Biochemistry. During the second and third year, the programme will expose the students to fundamental constituents (macro and micro) that constitute life processes and their dynamics. This will prepare them to appreciate the consequences of various deviations from normal during the final year.  

Biochemistry programme provides broad based education that explains chemical processes that take place in living organisms and the causes of various deviations, which can invariably lead to pathological conditions. It also provides basis for manipulation of normal processes to achieve desired outcome. Products of the programme will be suitable for employment in health, food and related industries. They can also be self- employed.
