Notes

¹ CHG1125 must be taken in first or second year; first year is recommended.
² For a complete list of complementary studies electives, consult the Faculty of Engineering’s website.
³ During the fourth year, the student must either do a research project (BCH4040), or take nine additional units among the 3000 or 4000 level courses in biochemistry (BCH), biology (BIO), biopharmaceutical sciences (BPS), cellular and molecular medicine (CMM), chemistry (CHM), pharmacology (PHA), physiology (PHS), microbiology or immunology (MIC). The research project is highly recommended for students who intend to pursue a career in research, but a CGPA of 6.5 is required to be eligible for the project. This course runs from September to April.
⁴ This course runs from September to April.
⁵ This course may not be available every year.
⁶ Consult the list of technical electives in the regular Chemical Engineering program.
