SCBCH2000 Biochemistry for health & nutrition
This course will provide students with foundation studies in biochemistry especially relevant to further studies in food and nutrition. The course begins with an introduction to the cellular environment and interactions that stabilise biological macromolecules. This is followed by studies of the major classes of biological molecules: amino acids, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. The structure and function of biological membranes, and mechanisms of degradation and turnover of biological molecules, are also considered.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
