Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization Co-op (B.Sc.)


Admission


Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline and completion of Level II Honours Biochemistry with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0.

Program Notes


  1. This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms which must be spent in biochemistry related placements.
  2. Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload, as prescribed by Level and Term.
  3. Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00  and SCIENCE 3C00  before the first work placement and are strongly recommended to complete SCIENCE 2C00  in Level II.
  4. There are Level II and III prerequisites for many Level III and IV courses. The prerequisites should be considered when choosing Level II and III courses.
  5. Completion of one of BIOCHEM 4F09 A/B , 4T15 A/B  or 4Z03  is required in Level IV.
  6. Both CHEMBIO 2A03  and 2P03  are highly recommended for students interested in pursuing an undergraduate thesis or graduate studies in biophysical chemistry.
