Minors
Students can choose to enrol in a disciplinary or interdisciplinary Minor.
For Master students in Life Sciences Engineering
It is optional and requires at least 30 credits from the corresponding Minor study plan (bottom of the page) validated in Group 2.
Note: Students may validate a Minor or a Specialization, but not both.
- Computational Biology
Informatics section (SIN)
- Biomedical Technologies
Microengineering section (SMT)
- Biotechnology
Chemical Engineering section (SCGC)
- Imaging
Microengineering section (SMT)
- Technology Management and Entrepreneurship
Management, Technology, and Entrepreneurship section (SMTE)
- Data Science
Communication systems section (SSC)
- Engineering for Sustainability
Environmental Sciences and Engineering section (SSIE)
- Neuro-X
Neuro-X section (NX)
- Physics of Living Systems
Life Sciences Engineering section (SSV)
Here is the process to register for a Minor:
- Choose a Minor (cf options above)
- Validate the course choice with the corresponding contact person *
- Indicate your Minor choice when registering on IS-Academia
Deadline: beginning of the second semester at the time of FRAC renewal. - Submit the course list or validation form to the section on the LSE support platform for final approval
* Step 2 is not required for the Biomedical Technology minor
A minor is successfully completed when 30 credits at minimum have been acquired. These 30 credits replace 30 credits of options in a 120-credits Master program.
Minors/Specializations will be listed in the Diploma Supplements.
Note: No more than 32 credits can be validated for a Minor.
For Master students from other sections
If a Minor is allowed within your curriculum, here is the minor offered by the School of Life Sciences.
SV Disciplinary Minor in Life Sciences Engineering
The courses in this Minor cover topics such as genomics, bioinformatics and biomaterials. For students without any background in life sciences the course BIO-105 is highly recommended.
Requirements to validate the SV Disciplinary Minor:
- At least 2 courses in the “Fundamental courses” Group
- Students may take one 8 credits lab immersion in the field
The choice of courses must be confirmed by Dr. Alexandra Bezler using this form.
