What it isBiomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular level, focusing on chemistry, genetics, and cell biology as they relate to human health and disease. It goes deeper into biochemistry and molecular mechanisms than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in research, diagnostics, or further study in medicine or related fields. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid work in labs or healthcare settings. It suits students who want a science degree grounded in medical applications but are not yet committed to a specific health profession.Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching.

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.
