Program details

Overview

This bachelor of science program (three years full-time) covers the chemistry of living systems at the molecular level, including biomolecule structure, metabolism, and energy transformation. The curriculum includes five dedicated laboratory courses providing hands-on experience with biochemical techniques. Coursework builds a foundation applicable to environmental, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food-industry contexts. Students who meet the required science prerequisites in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics proceed directly into program coursework; those missing prerequisites can complete compensatory courses at the university. Graduates pursue careers in research, industry, or teaching, or continue to graduate studies in biochemistry or related fields. The program is taught in French, with admission open for both Fall and Winter terms. The curriculum draws on coursework in chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics to build the scientific foundation needed for advanced biochemical study.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Quebec applicants need a DEC en sciences de la nature or equivalent, with prerequisite coursework in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Applicants from elsewhere in Canada need a secondary school diploma plus one year of university study with a satisfactory science background. International applicants need 13 years of pre-university education, or 12 years plus one year of higher education, with a science background. Applicants missing science prerequisites may complete compensatory courses at the university. Non-francophone applicants must comply with the university's language policy, which requires passing the Test de connaissance du francais (TCF tout public) or an equivalent test of French proficiency. Admission is available for both Fall and Winter terms.
