What it isYou study the biology and chemistry of human bodies and disease, focusing on how cells, tissues, and organs work at a molecular level. This program is more lab and research-intensive than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in medical research, diagnostics, or graduate studies in medicine or health sciences. It suits students who are curious about how the human body functions and want hands-on experience in scientific investigation before deciding on a health-care or research path.This program combines university-level science study with hands-on paramedic training through a partnership between University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College. You earn both a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a paramedic diploma, preparing you for both advanced emergency response work and further education in health professions. It suits students who want practical clinical skills alongside academic study and plan to work as paramedics or pursue health-related graduate programs.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.
