When you choose biochemistry

After first year (4.0 credits).

What to watch for

UTM has no program called 'Biochemistry' — the equivalent is Biological Chemistry, and its admission table confirms Chemical & Physical Sciences (TMW), NOT Life Sciences. Applying to TML expecting biochemistry is a common mistake. Prerequisites are ENG4U, MHF4U, SBI4U and SCH4U.
