Chemistry for the Medical Sciences: Bachelor of Science Degree (BSc)

Admission Requirements: You cannot apply to this major directly. UVic asks you to apply to the Chemistry program, either as a high-school applicant or as a transfer applicant from another post-secondary institution, then to declare this major once you have a year of full-time study behind you. The entry requirements are therefore the Chemistry program's: for BC/Yukon applicants, approved English 11, Pre-calculus 11, Chemistry 11, Physics 11 and an approved social studies 11/12, then English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at 73% or higher, Pre-calculus 12 at 77% or higher and two approved science 12 courses - and where you take two courses in the same science subject only the higher grade counts, so a second science subject is still needed. UVic estimates the Chemistry entry average at 85% on the required grade-12 courses; other provinces and international curricula are assessed on their own equivalents, listed on the Chemistry page. All applicants must satisfy UVic's English language requirement: transcripts alone suffice after four years of full-time English-medium study in Canada, otherwise a test is needed (IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section under 20, CAEL 70, Duolingo 120, PTE Academic 65, Cambridge C1/C2 180 or four-skill MET 64).
