| What it is | A four-year Bachelor of Science in Biology teaches you how living organisms work, from cells to ecosystems, with a focus on environmental systems and conservation. You'll study ecology, genetics, physiology, and how species interact with their surroundings, combining lab work with field study. This program suits students who want a broad foundation in biology and are interested in environmental issues, rather than pursuing a specialized professional path like medicine or engineering. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. | You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
