It is strongly recommended that one of PHYSICS 1B03 or 1L03 be completed in Level I. Students who have not completed one of PHYSICS 1B03 or 1L03 will be considered for admission, however, these units must be replaced with a course selected from the Life Sciences I Course List and completion of either PHYSICS 1B03 or 1L03 is required by the end of Level II.
Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement but requires, as a minimum, completion of any Level I program with a Cumulative Average of at least 6.0 including:
6 units
from the following courses, where an average of at least 6.0 (between the courses) is required
the Life Sciences I Course List (See Admission Note 2 above.)
