What it is	Biomedical Sciences is the study of how living systems work at the cellular and molecular level, with a focus on human health and disease. You'll take courses in biology, chemistry, and the technology used to study cells and molecules, going deeper than a standard biology program. The co-op option lets you work in labs or medical settings while you study, giving you real experience in the field.	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.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
