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 McGill 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

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 ofÌýgrad.biochem [at] mcgill.ca (Pascale Joseph), Student Affairs Officer, before theÌýADD/DROP period.
