MAJOR IN MICROBIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY
Faculty of Science/Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry; including BMSc and Neuroscience - Microbiology and Immunology
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 Biophysics, Medical Cell Biology, Pathology, Pharmacology or Physiology. See BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM for more information.
Admission Requirements
Both 1000- and 2000-level courses are included in the Admission Requirements for students pursuing the Major in Microbiology and Immunology 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.
Admission Requirements for students pursuing this Major module in a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree:
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 in a BMSc degree.
The 1000-level half courses listed below must each be completed with a mark of at least 60%:
1.0 course: Biology 1001A* and Biology 1002B*.

1.0 course: from:Microbiology and Immunology 4100A, Microbiology and Immunology 4200B, Microbiology and Immunology 4300A, the former Microbiology and Immunology 4700B.
Notes:
1. Minimum marks of 70% in Microbiology and Immunology 3100A and Microbiology and Immunology 3300B are included in the prerequisites for Microbiology and Immunology 4100A, Microbiology and Immunology 4200B and Microbiology and Immunology 4300A. Since two of these three 4000-level half courses must be taken, students must satisfy the Admission Requirements for the module and have a minimum mark of 70% in both Microbiology and Immunology 3100A and Microbiology and Immunology 3300B to be allowed to register in Year 4 of the Major in Microbiology and Immunology.
2. BSc and BMSc students completing the Major in Microbiology and Immunology in addition to another module must adhere to the Common Course Policy if the same courses at the 2000- to 4000-level appear in more than one of the modules (see faculty websites for details).
