| What it is | Biomedical Sciences is the study of how living systems work at the cellular and molecular level, focusing on the chemistry of life processes, genes, and how cells function. It differs from general biology by going deeper into the chemistry behind biological processes and how organisms work at the tiniest scales. This program suits students who want a science foundation for health professions, research, or biotechnology careers, but aren't yet committed to a specific path like medicine or nursing. | 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. |

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.
