The Concurrent Certificate in Biomedical Sciences (BMS Certificate) is designed to provide students with an interest in biomedical research with an opportunity to develop an academic focus in this area, with the BMS Certificate serving to recognize that they have gained core knowledge in this area through their coursework.
Notes
Selection to the BMS Certificate: No formal application is required; however, because enrollment in HTHSCI 3V03 and 4AL3 is limited, students interested in completing the BMS Certificate should declare their intention to complete the certificate to the BMS Coordinator in the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) Program so that the department can manage enrollment and offer academic counselling accordingly.
In order to obtain the BMS Certificate, at least 12 units (above Level 1) must be elective to the degree.
No more than 6 units can be counted toward both the BMS Certificate and a Biochemistry Minor.
Certificate Requirements
Any student in an undergraduate program at McMaster may declare the BMS Certificate at the time of graduation provided that they satisfy the following requirements.
