IBBM Application Requirements

Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Biochemistry, or related discipline. There are no specific course requirements for IBBM application. However, students are expected to have substantial computer literacy, and to be knowledgeable of the basic life sciences, introductory calculus, matrix manipulation, and elementary statistics.

Students are also required to fulfill prerequisites (or deficiency) and degree requirements imposed by the home departments. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to check the graduate program description of home departments that are associated with the IBBM in order to find a suitable department.
