Effective September 2022, all Honours Biochemistry programs are administered by the Faculty of Health Sciences. Level II students interested in applying to this program should see the Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.H.Sc.) program in the Faculty of Health Sciences section of this Calendar.
Students who are currently enrolled in the Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.Sc.) are given the choice to remain in Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.Sc.) or transfer into Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.H.Sc.). Students who choose to remain in Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.Sc.) will graduate at a Faculty of Science convocation and students who transfer to Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization (B.H.Sc.) will graduate at a Faculty of Health Sciences convocation.
Program Notes
Registration in an Honours Biochemistry program does not guarantee access to all courses. Some courses have program restrictions. 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.
A ‘research intensive’ option, available to students registered in this Specialization, offers additional laboratory research experience through completion of BIOCHEM 3R06 A/B S and 4T15 A/B. This option is intended for students planning to pursue graduate studies or a career in research and development. Enrolment in the courses is limited and admission is by selection.
Both CHEMBIO 2A03 and 2P03 are highly recommended for students interested in pursuing an undergraduate thesis or graduate studies in biophysical chemistry.
Students may take a maximum of 9 units of project/thesis courses in Level III. Students may take a maximum of 18 units of project/thesis courses in Level IV.
Students who entered the program prior to September 2020 may refer to their Academic Advisement report or contact an Academic Advisor in the Office of the Associate Dean of Science (Academic) for program requirements.
