Degree Structure

Program structure

The BMedSci is a three year program consisting of fiverequired courses in first year, six required courses in second year, and five required courses in third year. Of the other eight 6 unit courses, one must be a Group C Science course.

Year 2	BIOL2151 Introductory Genetics BIOL2161 Genes: Replication and Expression BIOL2171 Biochemistry and Nutrition 6 unit later year course	BIOL2142 General Microbiology BIOL2152 Advances in Human Genetics OR BIOL2162 Molecular Biotechnology OR BIOL2176 Introductory Human Anatomy BIOL2174 Cell Physiology in Health and Disease 6 unit later year course
Year 3	BIOL3141 Infection and Immunity BIOL3161 Genomics and its Applications BIOL3190 Medical Science in the Workplace 6 unit later year course	BIOL3144 Molecular Immunology BIOL3181 Developmental and Molecular Biology Group C Science course (6 units) 6 unit later year course

 

[1] Those choosing PHYS1101 and PHYS1201 are not required to take mathematics as a co-requisite, although the waiving of this co-requisite precludes BMedSc students from taking later-year courses in physics.
[2] It is suggested that these electives be chosen from PSYC2007 Biological Basis of Behaviour, BIOL2103 Human Physiology,  BIOL2191 Ecology of Health and Disease, and BIOL3151 Population Genetics.
