BACHELOR (LICENSE) in Biochemistry (BSc.)
Goal
The bachelor in Biochemistry will discover the world of living in what is most fundamental. The student will study the structure of the chemical constituents of living organisms and substances that they produce, as well as metabolic changes and energy changes associated with them. The student also gain all the skills needed to work in the laboratory.
Abilities
Being keenly interested in science, especially by the constitution of matter. Dedicated to accuracy. Dedication to observing and analyzing the material; compareing quantify and verifying data; exploring and discovering the unknown. Have a sense of observation, be careful and have good manual dexterity. Aptitude for analysis and synthesis. Be patient and with good concentration.
Opportunity
Biochemistry is omnipresent in our daily lives, and biochemist may work in areas as diverse as the development of diagnostic tests for diseases, quality control (medical, food and industrial areas), the development of drugs and remediation of contaminated sites. The student will be working together with other specialists such as chemists, biologists and microbiologists.
A teaching career at the college is possible: the graduate degree specialized in college as well as the Masters in Biochemistry offer additional preparation prized by many colleges. In addition, under certain conditions, The student can legally qualify for secondary education by obtaining 61 credits mainly related to internships and teaching in the Bachelor of Secondary Education – Science and Technology.
Graduates of this program can become members of the Quebec Order of Chemists (OCQ) without administrative review.

Opening senior programs
This leads to bachelor studies in biochemistry at higher cycles, particularly in the following disciplines: structure and function of proteins, genomic biodiversity and molecular evolution, molecular and cell biology, microbial genetics, neurobiology, bioinformatics and biophotonics.
CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
All requirements must be met when undertaking the program.
The applicant must meet the following conditions:
- Be 18 years or older.
- Hold a high school diploma (Bac II) or its equivalent.
- Having left school early.
Applicants presenting a combination of education and relevant experience deemed equivalent to that required of the holder applicant may be eligible as a result of the analysis of the file.
The program is limited enrollment, the number of places is very limited.
Selection criteria
The application is analyzed on the basis of the quality of academic record.
Laptop
In undertaking its program, the student must acquire, from the first session, a portable computer equipped with a number of software, allowing the applicant to undertake the course of his research. Proficiency in basic computer functions and common software is essential. Introductory courses to specialized software are offered outside the program.
Knowledge of French
The student admitted to the EA must comply with the provisions relating to the application of the Policy on the use of French at the University GOC.
Non-francophone candidate
The candidate whose language of instruction in primary and secondary education is not the French must demonstrate a minimum level of knowledge of the French language. To this end, it must pass the International French Test (TFI) from within a network Educational Testing Service (ETS) at the time of filing the application and obtain a minimum result of 860/990. His skills in written French will be assessed on arrival and, where applicable, a patch French courses could be added to its journey.
