The Honours Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry is a 120-unit program covering the chemistry of life, including the molecular basis and treatment of human disease, and preparing students for graduate study or a research career in the medical sciences. Compulsory and optional courses are available in English or French, and students complete a full-year research project under the supervision of a professor from the departments of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, Biology, Physics, or Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, or an affiliated researcher at a National Capital Region research institute, working in areas such as microbiology, immunology, chemical biology, molecular biology, cell biology, proteomics, genomics, systems biology and bioinformatics. Co-operative education and a French immersion stream are both available. An integrated biotechnology option combining biochemistry with chemical engineering, awarding both a BSc in Biochemistry and a BASc in Chemical Engineering, can be completed in five years.
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.
