HONORS SPECIALIZATION IN MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS (Physical Science Concentration)

This module can only be completed within a BSc (Hons) degree.

Admission Requirements

Completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% on the following 4.0 principal courses, with no mark in these principal courses below 65%:

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: Chemistry 1050, or the former Chemistry 1020 or 023
1.0 course from: Biology 1222, 1223
If not taken in Year 1, Biology 1222 or 1223 must be completed by the end of Year 2 with a mark of at least 65%.

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 since credit for Physics 1020 or 1024 would be lost as they are antirequisite courses.

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

9.5 courses:

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.
0.5 course from: Calculus 2302A/B, 2502A/B.
0.5 course from: Calculus 2303A/B, 2503A/B.
0.5 course from: Statistical Sciences 2122A/B, Biology 2244A/B.
1.5 courses: Medical Biophysics 3501F, 3503G, 3970Z, or the former Medical Biophysics 3302E*.
1.0 course: Medical Biophysics 3505F and 3507G, or the former Medical Biophysics 3303E.
0.5 course: Medical Biophysics 3330F/G
1.5 courses: Medical Biophysics 4970 (Research Project = 1.5 courses).
1.0 course from: Medical Biophysics 4445A/B, 4455A/B, 4467A/B, 4475A/B, 4535A/B.
1.5 courses from: Applied Mathematics 2811B, 2813B, 3615A/B, Chemistry 2213A/B, 2214A/B, 2223B, 2274A, 2284B, Engineering Science 1036A/B or the former Computer Science 036a/b, Linear Algebra 1600A/B, Physics 2600A/B, 2900E, and up to two additional half courses in Medical Biophysics at the 3000- or 4000-level.

*Students having completed the former Medical Biophysics 3302E require only 9.0 courses to complete the module. The former Medical Biophysics 3302E (1.0 course) will be used toward the module as opposed to Medical Biophysics 3501F, 3503G and 3970Z (1.5 courses). These students may take Medical Biophysics 3336F/G in place of Medical Biophysics 3330F/G toward the module.
