Computational Sciences is a rapidly developing field relating to the direct application of computer science to natural sciences such as Biology, Biochemistry or Chemistry. Today's experimental scientists are increasingly reliant on computer science in almost every aspect of their disciplines. In order to meet the growing demand for highly trained graduates with a background in Computer Science and Mathematics in combination with intensive training in Biology, Biochemistry or Chemistry, the College of Natural Sciences offers three Honours B.Sc. programs: B.Sc (Honours) in Computational Biology, B.Sc. (Honours) in Computational Biochemistry and B.Sc (Honours) in Computational Chemistry.
In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p. 48) and all Faculty graduation regulations (see p. 109). In addition, students in Computational Biology must fulfill all regulations and requirements set out by the Department of Biology (see p.144), students in Computational Biochemistry must fulfill all regulations and requirements set out by the Institute of Biochemistry (see p.140) and students in Computational Chemistry must fulfill all regulations and requirements set out by the Department of Chemistry (see p.172).

Co-operative education formally integrates a student's academic experience with work experience in industry and/or government.Work opportunities, which are available on a competitive basis, are coordinated to complement the student's course work and interests. Practical work experience provides insights and opportunities for development, and helps prepare an individual for a career in Computational Science.
Not all of the following courses are offered in a given year. For an up-to-date statement of course offerings for 1999-2000, please consult the Registration Instructions and Class Schedule booklet published in the summer.
An independent research project under the supervision of a Faculty adviser, applying computational techniques to some experimental or theoretical problem in the disciplinary area of the student.
Prerequisite: Permission of the Department or Institute associated with the discipline.
