The acquisition of basic knowledge in Biochemistry is also an important feature of the training of specialist scientists in a broad range of biological fields. In addition, majors in chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science or chemical engineering with biological interests, include biochemistry in their studies. The number of students admitted to all three practical subjects will be limited. A new biophysics stream will be introduced starting at the 200-level in 1996. See separate section for Faculty and Departmental requirements.
All practical subjects are relevant, depending on the areas of specific interest.
Biology 600-101 is not a prerequisite but is strongly recommended. 200-level Chemistry is strongly recommended. Students wishing to take more than two of the lecture subjects are required to take at least one practical subject. The special conditions outlined above may be waived by the Head of the Department.
