  1. BSc in Chemistry - Biochemistry

  2. BSc Chemistry - Biochemistry • Biochemistry - an interdisciplinary scientific discipline whose very fast development is one of the characteristics of the 20th century and beginning of a new millennium.

  3. BSc Chemistry - Biochemistry • Biochemistry - an interdisciplinary scientific discipline whose very fast development is one of the characteristics of the 20th century and beginning of a new millennium. • High level of knowledge in biochemistry - necessary for development of other associated disciplines (molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, medical biology etc.)

  4. BSc in Chemistry - Biochemistry At the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Novi Sad, in academic 2000/01 a newmajor was established

  5. Faculty of Natural Sciences Faculty of Medicine • Teaching at this major is performed in collaboration with Department of Biology and Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad, while the curriculum concept is adapted to programmes of renowned American and European faculties.

  6. BSc Chemistry - Biochemistry • Within the studies of biochemistry, the students attend one-semester courses in biochemistry, chemistry and biology basic disciplines. • Apart from OBLIGATORY SUBJECTS, the students are offered ELECTIVE COURSES

  7. BSc Chemistry - Biochemistry • Specific feature of the studies is the concept of experimental work with the goal to provide students with individual experience in experimental work on current biochemical methods in order to prepare them for jobs in biochemical laboratories: clinical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, agronomic, etc.
