What it isBiomedical Science is the study of how the human body works at the cellular and molecular level, using tools from biology and chemistry to understand disease and develop treatments. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at labs, hospitals, or research facilities alongside your studies, giving you real experience in the field. This program suits students who want hands-on exposure to medical science before deciding whether to pursue medicine, dentistry, or research careers.Biomedical Science is the study of how the human body works at a chemical and cellular level, combining chemistry, biology, and medical science. The BSc&Mgt version adds business and management courses alongside the science, preparing you for roles that involve both technical and leadership responsibilities. This program includes mandatory work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid jobs in hospitals, research labs, or biotech companies. It suits people interested in health-related careers who want hands-on industry experience before graduating.You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
