What you study	Others in Subjects Related to Medicine	Others in Physical Sciences
What it is	You study how biological systems work at the molecular and cellular level, with a focus on health and disease. This program emphasizes the chemistry and physics underlying living processes more than a general biology program does. It suits students interested in understanding the scientific foundations of medicine and disease without committing to medical school itself.	A Liberal Science degree lets you study physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences without committing to a single specialization. Unlike a focused science program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple science fields before choosing a direction or combining them in your final year. It suits students who are strong in science but unsure which branch appeals most, or who want a broad understanding of how different sciences connect.

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.

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.
