| What it is | 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. | This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field. | Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. | A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English. |
