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) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
