Major in Medical Biophysics

About this programme

A degree containing this module normally requires 4 years for completion. When combined with one of the following Majors, this module leads to a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree: Biochemistry, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS), Medical Cell Biology, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology or Physiology. See BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM for more information. Both 1000- and 2000-level courses are included in the Admission Requirements for students pursuing the Major in Medical Biophysics in BMSc degrees, since admission to the BMSc Program does not occur until Year 3. The Admission Requirements for students pursuing the Major in other regular undergraduate degrees include only 1000-level courses, since students may register in the Major in Year 2 in non-BMSc degrees. The Module requirements (below) are the same for all students completing the Major. Note : students are encouraged to take Medical Biophysics 2500A/B in second year if they want an introduction to the discipline of Medical Biophysics or are interested in learning how biophysics concepts are applied in translational health research. Admission to this Major module occurs in Year 3 and requires admission to Year 3 of the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) Program. Students will usually complete MEDICAL SCIENCES FIRST ENTRY (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) prior to admission to Double Major modules in a BMSc degree. 1.0 course : Biology 1001A and Biology 1002B . 1.0 course : Chemistry 1301A/B and Chemistry 1302A/B . 0.5 course from: Calculus
