What it is	You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and genetics to human health and ecology. This program lets you do optional work terms alongside your courses, giving you paid experience in labs, hospitals, research centres, or biotech companies while earning your degree. It suits students interested in biology who want to test out careers before graduating and build professional connections.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
