Honours Biochemistry is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.

It is an interdisciplinary major offered jointly by the Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry.

Continuing in Honours Biochemistry (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60%, a minimum cumulative Biology average of 60%, and a minimum cumulative Chemistry average of 60%.
