What it isApplied 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.Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.You study the science and management of forests, learning about tree biology, ecosystem health, soil, and sustainable harvesting practices. The co-op option lets you work for forestry companies or government agencies during your degree, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This program suits students who want hands-on work with forests and ecosystems rather than purely classroom-based environmental study.
