The Honours Specializations indicated below (*) and the Specialization in Medical Biophysics may only be completed within the BMSc Program. The Major in Medical Biophysics, when combined with another Major offered by one of the Basic Medical Science departments or the Major in Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS), may only be completed within the BMSc Program (BMSc Honours or BMSc degree).

Students do not register in modules leading to a BMSc degree until they are admitted to Year 3 of the BMSc Program. For more information, see BMSc PROGRAM and MODULES OFFERED IN THE BMSc PROGRAM.

A Major module in Medical Biophysics can either be taken alone or combined with modules from other faculties to earn degrees such as BSc, BHSc or BA degrees.  For example, a student may obtain a BSc(Honours) degree with a Major in Medical Biophysics and a Major chosen from either the Faculty of Science or another faculty. Alternatively, a student may elect to pursue a 4-year BSc degree with a Major in Medical Biophysics.

Science/BMSc Internship Program

Some modules within the Medical Biophysics curriculum are being phased out as the department has introduced a new, streamlined curriculum designed to improve the student experience while maintaining academic rigour. Moving forward, a single Honours Specialization module will be offered that provides excellent balance between the biological and physical science aspects of the curriculum, specifically designed for the BMSc student experience.

Questions about the change to the curriculum should be directed to the Undergraduate Chair: medbioundergradchair@schulich.uwo.ca
