What it isThis program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating.Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.Biomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular and cellular level, with focus on disease, human health, and biotechnology applications. It combines biology, chemistry, and lab work more deeply than a general biology program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or biotech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree.
