Description

www.trentu.ca/biology/programs/biomedical-science-bsc

Students who complete the Biomedical Science degree will appreciate that many techniques and experimental approaches to health and medicine are complementary, and will be able to apply the principles they have learned to assess and solve problems as they relate to real-world health issues. The program gives students training in both practical and theoretical aspects of a diversity of medically related topics. A distinctive feature of the program is the requirement that students intern with a collaborating agency or individual sponsor in a health or medical science setting.

INFORMATION & ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Biomedical Science is a direct entry program with a limited number of student places. A secondary school diploma and six Ontario 4U or 4M courses with a minimum 75% overall final average is required for admission. These include ENG4U (Grade 12 English); MHF4U (Advanced Functions) or MCV4U (Calculus and Vectors); SCH4U (Grade 12 Chemistry); SBI4U (Grade 12 Biology); and SPH4U (Grade 12 Physics) or SES4U (Earth and Space Science). The admission average is calculated using the applicant’s five required courses noted above and the highest additional 4U/M-level course grade. As this is a limited enrolment program, fulfillment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

  • Students may apply on a competitive basis to enter the Biomedical Science program after first year if a minimum cumulative average of 75% in specific courses has been achieved. See www.trentu.ca/biology/programs/biomedical-science-bsc for details.

  • There is no joint-major program, General program, or minor in Biomedical Science.

  • For information on individual courses see Calendar entries under the appropriate discipline.

  • Students intending to pursue graduate studies or work in research laboratories are recommended to complete an Honours research thesis (BIOL 4020D).

  • The Accelerated Master’s program in Environmental & Life Sciences allows students to obtain a research-based MSc within a shorter timeframe.

  • Students intending to pursue studies in professional schools (medical, dental, pharmacy, etc.) should consult the most recent academic requirements of the schools they are interested in applying to.
