inorganic, analytical, physical and theoretical chemistry, with a strong emphasis on the interdisciplinary

fields of bio-inorganic and bio-organic chemistry and chemical biophysics. Physics2 - The core of the program is designed to provide an understanding of the principles and fundamental interactions of classical and quantum physics as well as many applications of these principles in technology and everyday life. It is possible for non-Physics degree students to take advanced courses, provided they have the physics and mathematics required in the year 1 Physics program.

Biology3 - The biological sciences, or the life sciences, encompass a broad spectrum of subjects from

molecular biology to ecology as well as such disciplines as biochemistry, biophysics, genetics and physiology. The program is designed to provide the student with a broad base in modern biological

though, to fulfill the basic requirements for admission to professional advanced degree studies and to

prepare graduates for careers in the biological sciences and related fields. Emsi Q3 2016 Data Set | www.economicmodeling.com 5
