What it isYou study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules and cells to behaviour and disease. The BSc and Management stream adds business and management courses alongside your neuroscience work, preparing you for leadership roles in healthcare or research settings. This program suits people drawn to both biological science and understanding the mind, especially those interested in research, medicine, or healthcare careers.Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields.
