What it is	Biomedical Science is a degree focused on the biological and chemical systems of the human body — how cells, tissues, and organs work and what happens when they malfunction. It goes deeper into human health and disease than a general biology program, preparing you for careers in medical research, clinical lab work, or further study in medicine or health professions. It suits students who want to understand disease at a molecular level and are considering healthcare-related paths but may not yet be committed to a specific professional designation.	You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development.	You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.
