| 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 living organisms and how they work at every level, from whole animals and plants down to cells, genes, and molecules. This is a research-focused program where you can choose to include paid work terms alongside your courses, giving you real lab or field experience in biology-related workplaces. It suits students who want a solid foundation in biology and enjoy the idea of testing what they learn in actual research or applied settings. |
