Admission
Enrolment in this program is limited. 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 Medical and Biological Physics with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including: 0-3 units
from the following courses, if not completed in Level I Note:
Information about the program and the selection procedure may be obtained from Science Career and Cooperative Education and the Chair of the Committee of Instruction. 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.
- 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.
- Completion of either BIOCHEM 2B03 and 2BB3 or BIOCHEM 2EE3 and 3G03 is required, however, BIOCHEM 2EE3 and 3G03 are recommended.
Course List A - Medical Physics Focus
Course List B - Biological Physics Focus
