What it is	Biology is the study of living organisms, from cells and genes to whole animals and ecosystems. This program gives you broad training across these levels rather than specializing early in areas like medicine or ecology. It suits students curious about how life works and who want flexibility to pursue further study or careers in health sciences, research, or environmental fields.	You study both music and chemistry in one five-year program, earning two degrees at once rather than choosing between them. This is a full double major, so you take substantial courses in both fields — not a minor or elective option. It suits students genuinely drawn to both sciences and the arts who want depth in each, and who are comfortable with a longer, more demanding degree path.

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.
