BINFA13715 - BE Bioinformatics BCom
Program Structure
Industrial Experience: At least 60 days of approved industrial training must be completed before completion of the final semester. Industrial Training should be concurrent with enrolment and is best accumulated in the summer recesses at the end of years 2 and 3, but must be completed by the end of year 4. Opportunities exist for 6 months industrial placement in year 3.
* CHEM1031 is appropriate for those who have 75-100 in 2U Chemistry or equivalent.
It is recommended that students start thinking about Industrial Training in the summer after Year 2 and Year 3. Graduation may be delayed if a satisfactory report for 60 day industrial training has not been received by the release of final year results.
