What it isBiomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular and cellular level, with focus on disease, human health, and biotechnology applications. It combines biology, chemistry, and lab work more deeply than a general biology program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or biotech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree.Bio-Medical Science is a science degree focused on the human body and disease at the cellular and molecular level, bridging biology and medicine. It goes deeper into medical concepts than a straight biology program, preparing you for health-related careers or further study in medicine, dentistry, or graduate research. This program suits students who want a rigorous science foundation and are interested in how the body works at a detailed level.This program combines biology, chemistry, and psychology to explore how living systems work at both the molecular and mental levels. You'll study everything from cellular and genetic processes to brain function and behaviour, with the option to gain work experience through co-op placements. It suits students interested in medicine, neuroscience, pharmaceutical research, or any field that bridges the physical and behavioural sciences.
