Program Notes
This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms which must be spent in biophysics related placements.
Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic work load as prescribed by Level and Term.
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.
Completion of PHYSICS 2G03 is required by the end of Level III and is recommended in Level II.
Students interested in medical physics or health physics, especially those considering postgraduate studies in these areas, should take 12 units from Course List A - Medical Physics Focus. These courses also contribute to the core knowledge and learning objectives required by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs.
Students interested in biochemistry, in particular those interested in postgraduate studies in this area, should take 12 units from Course List B - Biological Physics Focus.
Students interested in physics and soft matter physics, especially those considering postgraduate studies in these areas, should take 12 units from Course List C - Physics of Soft Matter Focus.
