Biochemistry

The Biochemistry program provides education and training in the molecular approach to the study of the life sciences. Individual student programs in Biochemistry can emphasize biotechnology, cell biochemistry, chemical approaches, metabolism, molecular biology, plant biochemistry, protein structure and function, or signal transduction. Programs in Biochemistry include essential prerequisite courses for life science professional schools and graduate studies in many areas of the life sciences. Graduates at all levels find employment in industry involved in many areas of biotechnology and other life science research enterprises.

Programs Offered

The Department of Biochemistry offer 3-year, 4-year and Honours programs leading to B.Sc. degrees. Biotechnology options for 4-year and Honours programs are also offered. Also note that the Department of Biochemistry offers interdisciplinary programs in Bioinformatics and Biomolecular Structure Studies. See the index for more information on these programs.Double Honours programs can also be arranged with careful planning. Students considering a double Honours program must consult an academic advisor within specific department of interest.

Program Requirements Effective September 2008

New degree requirements common to the undergraduate Basic Sciences programs in the Biomedical Science Division of the College of Medicine came into effect September 2008 (distribution requirements 1-5) for type C programs. Biochemistry students currently in the second, third or fourth year must complete the old degree requirements as outlined in the year in which they entered the program. Students commencing a Type C Biochemistry program in 2008 onward must follow the new Degree Requirements as listed below. The common core courses for years 1 & 2 have been incorporated into the C1-C7 requirements.
