Andhra University Biochemistry Syllabus

My son is student in Andhra University. His M.Sc., Biochemistry Semester
are coming soon but he left his syllabus. Will you provide me any official address or any website to get the syllabus of M.Sc., Biochemistry Semesters - Andhra University?

Hi buddy here I am looking for Andhra University B.Sc., Biochemistry program syllabus so would you plz let me know from where I can do download it ??
