Program details

Overview

This 90-credit undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, offered in French at the Montreal campus on a full-time or part-time basis, with regular and honours profiles. Biochemistry studies the biological functions and the chemical and physical properties of the substances that make up living organisms, and the program provides theoretical and laboratory training preparing graduates for work in the pharmaceutical, agri-food, chemical, biomedical, and environmental sectors, or for graduate studies in biochemistry or related fields. The honours profile is intended for students planning to pursue second-cycle studies. Applicants must have completed collegial-level coursework in biology, general and solution chemistry, differential and integral calculus, electricity and magnetism, and waves and modern physics before beginning the program. Reading proficiency in English is expected, since much of the scientific literature in the field is published in English. Admission is offered in the fall and winter terms.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 2.00 / 4.3
