Biochemistry at the University of Winnipeg leads to a Bachelor of Science, available in three-year, four-year, and Honours options. The program is interdisciplinary, drawing courses jointly from the Chemistry and Biology departments and supplementing them with material from Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics. Instruction includes laboratory-based coursework using current biochemical techniques, delivered on the Winnipeg campus. Admission expects standing in Chemistry 40S along with Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S. The program suits students oriented toward the life sciences, whether heading directly into laboratory or industry work or continuing to further study. Career paths named on the program page include roles in food technology and pest control, pharmaceutical and diagnostic design and manufacturing, and positions in government or private laboratories. It is also presented as a foundation for professional programs in medicine, dentistry, or pharmacy, and for graduate-level research in areas such as disease research, drug discovery, forensics, immunology, environmental remediation, and physiology. Students considering health-related or research-intensive careers, and those wanting a strong grounding in laboratory science before pursuing further professional or graduate training, are the program's stated audience.

Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
