Program Details

Biochemistry - Chemistry School: Bishop's University Faculty: Natural Sciences and Mathematics Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Biochemistry Description: The Biochemistry programme at Bishop's offers degree options in two separate streams, a concentration Chemistry and a concentration Biology, which provide a strong background in both biology and chemistry applicable to students looking to continue in the health or life sciences. Both streams offer an Honours degree, which rigorously prepares students for graduate studies or for professional schools, and a Majors degree, which provides students more flexibility in their programme. The programme places strong emphasis on mastering the fundamentals of experimental biochemistry, and provides students with well equipped laboratory facilities, first-hand experience with modern laboratory equipment, and close instructional contact with professors The low student/professor ratio, which has typically averaged 10 to 15, favours a close interaction and personalized teaching.
