If you choose the Honours in Biochemistry, you have the opportunity to complete a full-year research project under the supervision of a professor from the departments of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, Biology, Physics, or Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, or under the supervision of an affiliated principle investigator from one of the many research institutes in the National Capital Region. Given the breadth of research expertise within the program, you can conduct research in many areas of modern biomedicine, including biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, chemical biology, molecular biology, cell biology, proteomics, genomics, systems biology and bioinformatics.

You must have at least a secondary school diploma from a Canadian province or territory, or the equivalent (country-specific). If you’re applying for an English-language program and you have not completed at least three years of full-time study in an institution where English is the only language of instruction (aside from in language courses), located in a country where English is an official language, you must submit your official score in one of the following language tests recognized by the University.
