The Major in Biochemistry is a 60-unit undergraduate concentration covering the chemistry of life and the biological processes that underlie it, providing a foundation for understanding the molecular basis of disease and its treatment. The program prepares students for graduate studies and for careers in medical research and healthcare-related fields. Compulsory courses and many optional courses are available in English or in French, and a French Immersion Stream is available when the major is taken as part of an Honours degree. An integrated biotechnology option combining biochemistry with chemical engineering leads to both a BSc in Biochemistry and a BASc in Chemical Engineering, completed over five years. The major is normally combined with another major or a minor to fulfil the requirements of the Bachelor's degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), and two of Biology 4U (SBI4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), Physics 4U (SPH4U), or Earth and Space Science 4U (SES4U). The published minimum admission average is 78%, with a minimum combined average of 70% required across the science and mathematics prerequisite courses specifically. Students who do not have Calculus and Vectors 4U may take a replacement course at the University in the summer before or during first term. This line is shared across Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, and Physics-Mathematics, and, per the Faculty of Science's own grouping of shared first-year course requirements, also covers the general (undeclared) Bachelor of Science credential and the Life Sciences major, since neither is tracked as a separate admission discipline.
