Admission
Enrolment in this program is limited. Admission is by selection, 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 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 medical physics or 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 prior to the Fall term of Level III. Students are required to complete SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement.
- 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
