Module/Program Information
Module
6.0 courses:
0.5 course: Biochemistry 2280A.
2.0 courses: Biology 2290F/G, Biology 2382A/B, Biology 2483A/B, Biology 2581A/B.
0.5 course: Chemistry 2213A/B.
0.5 course: Biology 2601A/B (see note 2).
0.5 course from: Biology 2244A/B, Statistical Sciences 2244A/B.
1.5 additional courses at the 2200 level or above in Biology.
0.5 additional course at the 2200 level or above* chosen from either the Department of Biology or one of the Basic Medical Sciences disciplines (see below). Basic Medical Sciences Disciplines: Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Medical Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Physiology, and Pharmacology.
Courses in the History of Science are not included.
* The former Microbiology and Immunology 2100A or Pharmacology 2060A/B may be taken to satisfy this requirement.
Notes:
1. Students registered in an honours double major degree must complete a minimum of 1.0 at the 3000 level for each module.
2. Physiology 2130 can be taken instead of Biology 2601A/B to satisfy the physiology requirement for the module. However, students must make up the 0.5 course represented by Biology 2601A/B with an alternate Biology course from the 2200 level or above.
