Module title SBEP1004 Biochemistry
Semester(s) 2nd Semester
Person responsible Dr. Hafnati Rahmatan, M.Si
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum Compulsory module focusing on biochemical processes in living organisms. This course strengthens understanding of biomolecules, enzymatic reactions, metabolism, and regulatory mechanisms. It supports CPL-1 and CPL-5 and integrates biology with chemistry to develop analytical thinking and conceptual understanding relevant to biological education.
Teaching methods Lecture, small group discussion, problem-based learning
Workload 2 x 45 hours per semester, comprising:
✔ 100 minutes lecture and discussion per week
✔ 120 minutes structured tasks per week
✔ 120 minutes independent learning per week
Credit points 2 SKS = 3,34 ECTS (90 hours)
Prerequisites –
