The University of Western Ontario : MAJOR IN MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS

A degree containing this module normally requires 4 years for completion.

Admission Requirements

Completion of first-year requirements, including the following courses with a minimum mark of 60% in each:

1.0 course from: Physics 1020, 1024, 1028A/B and 1029A/B
0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, 1100A/B
0.5 course from: Calculus 1301A/B, 1501A/B
1.0 course from: Chemistry 1050 or the former Chemistry 1020 or 020 or 023
1.0 course from: Biology 1222 or 1223
If not taken in year 1, Biology 1222 or 1223 must be completed by end of year 2 with a mark of at least 60%.

Note: Students who complete either Physics 1020 or 1024 will take Physics 2101A/B and Physics 2102A/B in the module. These students should not select Medical Biophysics 2128A/B and 2129A/B in the module as these courses are antirequisite to Physics 1020 and 1024.

Note: Students who complete Physics 1028A/B and 1029A/B may choose any combination of Medical Biophysics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, Physics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B in the module (an average of at least 80% must be achieved in Physics 1028A/B and 1029A/B, however, to choose Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B).

Module

0.5 course from: Calculus 2302A/B, 2502A/B.
0.5 course from: Calculus 2303A/B, 2503A/B.
2.0 courses: Medical Biophysics 3302E, 3303E
0.5 course from: Medical Biophysics 3330F/G, 3336F/G
1.0 course from: Medical Biophysics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B.
1.0 course from: Medical Biophysics 4445A/B, 4455A/B, 4467A/B, 4475A/B, 4535A/B.
