ADMISSION TO THE BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM
Admission to the BMSc Program occurs in Year 3 and students must be admitted to Year 3 BMSc to progress to Year 4 BMSc. Admission to Year 3 BMSc is assured for students who complete MEDICAL SCIENCES FIRST ENTRY (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) provided the following conditions are satisfied by the end of the Fall/Winter of Medical Sciences 2:
  • a full load of 5.0 courses must be successfully completed in Medical Sciences 2 (note: any courses taken in the summer sessions must also be successfully completed),
  • the specified minimum marks must be achieved in the first attempt at ALL of the courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies in Year 3, and
  • a minimum average of 80% must be achieved on ALL of the 2000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies. If the Admission Requirements list 3.5 or more 2000-level courses, a minimum average of 80% must be achieved on the best 3.0 of these 2000-level courses
For more information about completing the 2000-level Admission Requirements for each Major + Major combination available in the BMSc Program, see the BMSc website.

It is anticipated that the available spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program will not be filled by students in Medical Sciences 2 who satisfy the conditions for assured admission.
Students in Medical Sciences 2 who do not satisfy the conditions for assured admission, as well as students registered in other modules/programs in Year 2, may apply for admission to the remaining spaces in Year 3 BMSc.  The following conditions must be satisfied by these students applying from the “competitive pool” prior to Year 3:
  • Year 2 must be successfully completed.
  • the specified minimum mark must be achieved in each of the 1000-level half courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies.
  • ALL of the 2000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies must be successfully completed. If the Admission Requirements list 3.5 or more 2000-level courses, only 3.0 of these 2000-level courses must be completed prior to Year 3 (including prerequisites, if any, for 3000-level modular courses).
  • a minimum average of 75% must be achieved on ALL of the 2000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the module to which the student applies. If the Admission Requirements list 3.5 or more 2000-level courses, a minimum average of 75% must be achieved on the best 3.0 of these 2000-level courses*, and
  • a maximum of one of the 2000-level half courses listed in the Admission Requirements is a repeated course*.

* Information about the minimum average required for admission to Year 3 BMSc is available on the BMSc website. More details about the impact of repeating one of the 2000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements, as well as more information about completing the 2000-level Admission Requirements for each Major + Major combination available in the BMSc Program, is available on the BMSc website.
