Acceptance into the Co-op Option is based upon academic standing and general suitability to perform in a technical research environment. This is normally achieved through a period of 12 to 15 months of approved work placement under the supervision of practising professionals. The program is open to interested and qualified students and is intended to provide additional practical and technical biochemical and molecular biological, and forensic science experience in academic, public, and industrial research laboratories or law enforcement agencies.
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology department offers an optional Co-op Education Option for the Biochemistry and Forensic Science Honours Program. Students who fail to maintain the Faculty of Science requirements for continuing in honours specializations, or who elect not to complete the joint program, but who wish to enrol in a different specialization within the Faculty of Science must apply to receive transfer credit for completed BCIT credits to have the BCIT credits counted towards a new specialization. The credential is awarded jointly by UBC and BCIT. Students will need to maintain a winter sessional average of 70% or higher to remain in the specialization.Ĭompletion of the requirements for the entire four- year specialization earns a Bachelor of Science (Combined Honours) in Biochemistry and Forensic Science. Students must meet the Faculty of Science requirement to continue in this Honours specialization (see Honours Specialization requirements). All subsequent years will be taken at both UBC and BCIT, requiring students to commute between the two campuses (scheduling will reflect travel time). Transfer students who have completed their first year at another institution may also apply to the program. The first year of the specialization is completed at UBC. Applicants should also be aware that most careers in Forensic Science require criminal background checks. Students transferring from other specializations, year levels, or other institutions should see a UBC biochemistry advisor.
Students normally apply for this specialization through the UBC science online second year specialization selection process. Entry into the specialization is at the second-year level and requires completion of the first-year prerequisites listed below with at least the minimum admission average set by the UBC Faculty of Science for transfer into second year Honours specializations. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia and the Forensics Science and Technology department at the BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) offer a four-year joint degree program that integrates academic study at both institutions.
