Doctoral Program

Our doctoral program aims to produce scientists who will be capable of solving biochemical and health-related problems and go on to hold leadership positions in both the public and private sectors.

Requirements for admission

Students who hold an M.Sc. degree from another recognized university (or from another 91社区 Department) may be considered for admission at the Ph.D. level. These candidates register at the Ph.D. 2 level.

Required Courses (3 credits)

A minimum attendance at 70% of seminars, including Junior and Senior Seminars, is required to pass BIOC 696

BIOC 696D1听Seminars in Biochemistry听1.5 Credits
BIOC 696D2听Seminars in Biochemistry听1.5 Credits
BIOC 703听Ph.D. Seminar

Students must complete BIOC 701 in the third term after admission to the program, BIOC 702 in the 5th or 6th term, and BIOC 703 approximately 6 months prior to submission of the Ph.D. thesis.

Complementary Courses (6 credits)

At least one course from the courses listed below plus additional credits to a minimum of 6 total complementary course credits of 500-level or higher courses in the biomedical and allied sciences, chosen in consultation with the research director.

Important: Adding extra course requirements OVER the six (6) credits, have to be brought to the attention of听grad.biochem [at] mcgill.ca (Pascale Joseph), Student Affairs Officer, before the听ADD/DROP period.

BIOC 670听Biochemistry of Lipoproteins听3 Credits
BIOC 600听Adv Strat in Genetics&Genomics听3 Credits
BIOC 603听Genomics and Gene Expression听3 Credits
BIOC 604听Macromolecular Structure听3 Credits
BIOC 605听Protein Biology & Proteomics听3 Credits
EXMD 615听Essentials of Glycobiology听3 Credits
EXMD 635D1听Experimental/Clinical Oncology听3 Credits
EXMD 635D2听Experimental/Clinical Oncology听3 Credits

The Graduate Advisory Committee may stipulate additional course work depending on the background of the candidate.

BIOC 450听Protein Structure and Function听3 Credits
BIOC 454听Nucleic Acids听3 Credits

These would be additional requirements for those who have not previously completed equivalent courses in their prior training
