Brock University, Biochemistry
Reviewed on Mar 24, 2019

Good co-op program. I was offered some incentive to attend money wise but the main reason I went to Brock is that I have family in the area and I was able to move in with them to save a lot of money in living expenses.

Course Curriculum

8

Lots of overlap with course material, otherwise good. Mostly general chemistry and biology than biochemistry though which is understandable given this knowledge is needed before diving into biochemistry.

Internship

There is a co-op program. They make it seem really beneficial but they don't really do much to help you find a job or edit your documents. Also very expensive and they make you take (and pay for) a whole course that doesn't even count as a credit.

Fees

$700-800 per course. About $1500 in ancillary fees. Science courses usually have an equipment and chemical disposal fee of $50-200.

Examination Structure

The exam structure is really good. They make an effort to give time to study and minimal overlap/back to back exams! Very rarely do we have exams on two days back to back! Usually at least 2-5 days in between each exam.

Faculty

9

The faculty are surprising esteemed. The professors have really awesome qualifications and have done some really groundbreaking and novel research, surprising for the small size of the university.
