What it isThis 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.Biomedical Engineering combines engineering design with biology and medicine to develop medical devices, implants, and diagnostic tools. Unlike general engineering, it focuses specifically on solving problems in healthcare and the human body. You'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with companies in the medical technology sector, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to help people but need real-world exposure to decide if the field is right for them.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.
