What it isYou study living organisms, cells, and biological systems, with a focus on how they work at the molecular level and how that knowledge applies to real-world problems in medicine and industry. The BSc and Management stream combines science coursework with business and management courses, preparing you to lead teams or projects rather than work only in the lab. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom study and paid jobs in research labs, hospitals, biotech companies, or government agencies. It suits people who want to understand biology deeply and also want hands-on experience before deciding whether they prefer pure research, applied science, or a management role.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.
