|
|
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 Co-op (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 Co-op (B.Sc.) are given the choice to remain in Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization Co-op (B.Sc.) or transfer into Honours Biochemistry Co-op (B.H.Sc.) . Students who choose to remain in Honours Biochemistry - Biomedical Research Specialization Co-op (B.Sc.) will graduate at a Faculty of Science convocation and students who transfer to Honours Biochemistry Co-op (B.H.Sc.) will graduate at a Faculty of Health Sciences convocation.
