| What it is | Biophysics combines physics and biology to study how living systems work at the molecular and cellular level, using physics principles and mathematical tools. Unlike a straight physics or biology degree, you focus on the physical forces and processes that make life possible — how proteins fold, how cells move, how energy flows through organisms. This suits students drawn equally to both physics and life sciences who want to understand the mechanisms underneath biology rather than just cataloging organisms or reactions. | An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree. |

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.
Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
