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.You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction.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.
