ADMISSION TO THE BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM
For students who began their studies at the University in 2012, admission to the BMSc Program will occur in Year 2 and is limited. Students must be registered in Year 3 of the BMSc Program in order to progress to Year 4.

For students beginning their studies at the University in 2013, admission to the BMSc Program will occur in Year 3 and is limited. Students must be admitted to Year 3 of the BMSc Program in order to progress to Year 4. Admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program is assured for students who complete the MEDICAL SCIENCES FIRST ENTRY PROGRAM (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) provided:
  • a full load of 5.0 courses is successfully completed in Medical Sciences 2, and
  • ALL of the 2000-level modular courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies for Year 3 have been completed with a mark of at least 60% in each, a minimum average of 80% has been achieved on the best 3.0 of these 2000-level modular courses, and none of these 2000-level modular courses has been repeated.
Students who complete the courses in Medical Sciences 1 and 2 without being registered in the Medical Sciences First Entry Program, as well as students in Medical Sciences 2 who do not satisfy the conditions for assured admission to the BMSc Program, may apply for admission to the remaining spaces in Year 3.  The following conditions must be satisfied by these students in the “competitive pool”:
  • each of the first-year half courses in biology, chemistry, math and physics listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies for Year 3 has been completed with a mark of at least 60% (students who have completed Biology 1201A and/or Biology 1202B must have marks of 70% or higher in each of these courses),
  • a full load of 5.0 courses is successfully completed in Year 2,
  • at least 3.0 of the 2000-level modular courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies in Year 3 have been completed with a mark of at least 60% in each, a minimum average of 75% has been achieved* on the best 3.0 of these 2000-level modular courses, and a maximum of one of these 2000-level modular half courses has been repeated**.
*Students will be admitted to the remaining spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program until the enrolment capacity has been reached, beginning with students achieving the highest average on the best 3.0 of the 2000-level modular courses listed in the Admission Requirements of the module to which they apply. An average greater than 75% may be required on these 3.0 courses if the number of applicants exceeds the number of remaining spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program.
**If one 2000-level modular half course has been repeated, the average on the best 3.0 of the 2000-level modular courses will be calculated using an average on the two attempts in the repeated half course.
