Degree Structure

Program structure

The BMedSci is a three year program consisting of six required courses in first year, six required courses in second year, and five required courses in third year. Of the other seven 6 unit courses, one must be a Group C Science course.

Medical Science - typical degree pattern of a full-time student

	Semester 1	Semester 2
Year 1	BIOL1003 Evolution, Ecology and Genetics BIOL1007 Living Cells CHEM1101 Chemistry 1 6 unit PSYC, PHYS, MATH OR STAT course	BIOL1004 Molecular Biology CHEM1201 Chemistry 2 6 unit course
Year 2	BIOL2151 Introductory Genetics BIOL2161 Genes: Replication and Expression BIOL2171 Biochemistry and Nutrition 6 unit later year course	BIOL2142 General Microbiology BIOL2152 Advances in Human Genetics OR BIOL2162 Molecular Biotechnology OR BIOL2176 Introductory Human Anatomy BIOL2174 Cell Physiology in Health and Disease 6 unit later year course
Year 3	BIOL3141 Infection and Immunity BIOL3161 Genomics and its Applications BIOL3190 Medical Sciences Elective 6 unit later year course	BIOL3144 Molecular Immunology BIOL3181 Current Topics in Developmental and Molecular Biology Group C Science course (6 units) 6 unit later year course

[1] Those choosing PHYS1101 and PHYS1201 are not required to take mathematics as a co-requisite, although the waiving of this co-requisite precludes BMedSc students from taking later-year courses in physics.
[2] It is suggested that these electives be chosen from CHEM2101 Spectroscopy in Chemistry, CHEM2202 Chemical Structure and Reactivity (CSR 1), PSYC2007 Biological Basis of Behaviour, BIOL2103 Vertebrate Physiology and BIOL2191 Ecology of Health and Disease.
