Program Overview & Highlights

Honours 4-year program
Thesis Available
Combined Honours programs available
BSc

Study the science of life at every scale, from genes and cells to organisms and ecosystems. This stream gives you a broad foundation across genetics, physiology, microbiology, and molecular biology, so you can explore multiple areas before committing to a focus. It’s a strong launchpad for professional schools (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine), but just as suited to careers in biotechnology, public health, environmental science, or research careers.

Many hands-on opportunities to get involved in biological research starting in year 1 and develop skills that will prepare you for a broad range of career paths and professional schools.

Very flexible and comprehensive program where students can choose to focus in any area of study (from molecular biology to ecosystems).
