Honours Biological and Medical Physics is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.
Honours Biological and Medical Physics is an interdisciplinary plan offered jointly by the Department of Biology and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. It provides students with a background suitable for careers in both biophysics and medical physics, while providing flexibility to specialize in diverse areas of biology and/or physics, such as medical imaging and computational biophysics.
Continuing in Honours Biological and Medical Physics (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60%, a minimum cumulative Biology average of 60%, and a minimum cumulative Physics average of 60%.
Successful completion requires:
- 21.25 units distributed as follows:
- 7.0 PHYS units: PHYS 121, PHYS 121L, PHYS 122, PHYS 122L, PHYS 225, PHYS 256, PHYS 256L, PHYS 280/BIOL 280, PHYS 242, PHYS 242L, PHYS 358, PHYS 380, PHYS 383, PHYS 395, PHYS 396; PHYS 233 or PHYS 234
- 3.0 CHEM units: CHEM 120, CHEM 120L, CHEM 123, CHEM 123L, CHEM 237, CHEM 237L, CHEM 266, CHEM 266L
- 2.0 MATH units: MATH 127, MATH 128, MATH 227, MATH 228
- 1.25 BIOL units: BIOL 130, BIOL 130L; BIOL 239 or BIOL 273
- 0.5 CS unit: CS 114
- 0.5 unit: COMMST 193/ENGL 193
- 7.0 elective units distributed as follows:
- 2.0 units chosen from: PHYS 124, PHYS 249, PHYS 263, PHYS 334, PHYS 335, PHYS 342, PHYS 349, PHYS 359, PHYS 461, PHYS 483; PHYS 267 or STAT 202
- 1.5 units chosen from: BIOL 201, BIOL 239, BIOL 240, BIOL 240L, BIOL 266, BIOL 273, BIOL 308, BIOL 373, BIOL 373L, BIOL 382/AMATH 382, CHEM 267, CHEM 267L
- 3.5 units chosen from any subject, with a maximum of 1.0 lab units
- Enrolment in PHYS 10 when offered.
- Co-operative program requirements (when applicable).
Notes
-
If BIOL 239 or BIOL 273 is used to satisfy the 1.25 BIOL units requirement, it cannot be selected again to satisfy the elective unit requirement.
-
At least 1.0 elective lecture unit must be at the 400-level in BIOL or PHYS.
-
Students should consult their academic advisor when considering program electives to focus their studies in areas of medical physics, biophysics, biomedical imaging, or computational biological and medical physics.
