What it is	Applied Biotechnology is the study of using living organisms and their processes to solve problems in agriculture, medicine, and industry. You'll take courses in chemistry, biology, and genetics while learning to apply this knowledge in real laboratories and workplaces. The BSc and Management version adds business skills alongside the science, and co-op placements are built into both programs so you earn experience with employers while studying.	This program teaches the chemistry behind how drugs work in the body and how they're developed and tested for safety. You'll study both the chemical structure of medications and how they interact with living systems, combining practical lab work with theory. It suits students who want hands-on science and are interested in pharmaceutical research or drug development rather than becoming a pharmacist directly.	You study the chemistry of how drugs work in the body and how to develop and test new medications. This program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your courses at pharmaceutical companies or research labs, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on experience in drug development and are comfortable alternating between school and workplace every few months.
