Admission into fourth year Biochemistry is open to students who have completed the requirements for 3-year BSc programs in Biology, Chemistry, or Biochemistry and Chemistry, with an overall average of 70% in the last two years, and an average of at least 70% in five senior biology or chemistry courses with no mark less than 60% in those five. (See BIOLOGY PROGRAMS () and CHEMISTRY ().) The 3-year program must include the following, with a mark of 70% in each case:

Chemistry 213a/b plus 223b, or 253

Biology 280a, 380b, 381a, and 382b

Chemistry 224a/234b, or 254 is also required, but does not require a minimum mark of 70%

Note: Students entering the program from the 3-year BSc in Biology must have completed the following Year 1 mathematics requirement: one full course equivalent, chosen from Mathematics 030, or Calculus 050a/b plus one of the following: Calculus 051a/b, 081a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b, Mathematics 028a/b; or the former Applied Mathematics 020, or 023a/b plus 024a/b, or the former Mathematics 027.

It is recommended that students take the prerequisites in the following order together with the other courses required in their specific programs:

Second year

Biology 280a

Chemistry 213a/b and 223b or 253

Chemistry 224a and 234b or 254

Third year

Biology 380b, 381a, and 382b

The Department of Biochemistry should be consulted by all applicants.

Fourth Year

Biochemistry 483 or 484, or the former 482 (enrolment in Biochemistry 483 is limited)

Any five of: Biochemistry 400a, 410a, 420b, 430b, 440a, 445a/b, 463b, Microbiology and Immunology 467b
