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 full or half course:
0.5 course from: Physics 1028A/B, 1301A/B, 1401A/B or 1501A/B. 0.5 course from: Physics 1029A/B, 1302A/B, 1402A/B or 1502A/B.
1.0 course from: Calculus 1000A/B or 1100A/B and Calculus 1301A/B or 1501A/B, or Applied Mathematics 1413.
1.0 course: Chemistry 1100A/B and 1200B, or the former Chemistry 1020, 1050 or 023.
1.0 course: Biology 1001A and 1002B (may be deferred until Year 2), or the former Biology 1222 or 1223.
Notes for Admission Requirements:
1. The combination of either Physics 1301A/B and 1302A/B or 1501A/B and 1502A/B is preferred for students interested in the Major in Medical Biophysics. One of the former Physics 1020, 1024 or 1026 with a minimum mark of 60%, may be used in place of two half courses in Physics listed above.

2. Students will take Physics 2101A/B and Physics 2102A/B in the module if they complete any of Physics 1301A/B, 1302A/B, 1401A/B, 1402A/B, 1501A/B or 1502A/B, or the former Physics 1020, 1024 or 1026.

3. 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).
 
4. Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.
