What it is	You 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.	You study the living systems and organisms that make up biology, from cells and genetics to ecology and disease, with a strong focus on biotech applications like drug development and genetic engineering. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at research labs, biotech companies, or hospitals, giving you real experience alongside your degree. The management option adds business and organizational skills if you want to eventually lead research teams or biotech projects rather than work solely in the lab. This program suits students who want hands-on science training with genuine workplace exposure and are comfortable switching between study and work every few months.	Biomedical Sciences is the study of how living systems work at the cellular and molecular level, focusing on the chemistry of life processes, genes, and how cells function. It differs from general biology by going deeper into the chemistry behind biological processes and how organisms work at the tiniest scales. This program suits students who want a science foundation for health professions, research, or biotechnology careers, but aren't yet committed to a specific path like medicine or nursing.	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.

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.
