What it isThis program combines study of how technology shapes society with analysis of social issues and human values. Unlike a pure technology program, you'll focus on the human and ethical sides of tech — how it affects people, policy, and communities — rather than building or coding technology itself. It suits people curious about technology's role in the world who prefer thinking through social and policy questions over hands-on technical work.This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
