| What it is | Biomedical Sciences is the study of how living organisms work at every level, from cells and genes to whole body systems. You'll focus on topics like genetics, human biology, animal physiology, and zoology to understand disease and health. This is a broad foundation program suited to students who want biology and chemistry depth before deciding on careers in health sciences, research, or veterinary fields. | A Bachelor of Science Honours is a four-year degree where you specialize in one science discipline — such as biology, chemistry, environmental studies, or nutrition — and take supporting courses in math and other sciences. The honours designation means you complete a research project or thesis in your final year. Many students choose the optional co-op stream, which alternates study terms with paid work placements in related fields, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. This program suits students who want depth in a single science and are interested in research, lab work, or professional roles in health, environment, or industry. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
