Faculty of Science 4. Program Details 4.1 Biological Sciences 4.1.4 Programs in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology4.1.4 Programs in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology
Courses constituting the field of Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology
1Students may apply a maximum of 9 units from independent project courses numbered 507, 528 and 530 towards their major field; of these 9 units, students are permitted a maximum of 6 units of independent project courses labelled as 507 offered by the Department of Biological Sciences. 2Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will have to be granted on an individual basis. Check the list published by the Department each February. 3No more than 6 units of Medical Science courses can be counted towards the Major Field; Medical Science courses other than those specifically listed here require Department approval prior to registering in the course. |
