When you choose life sciences
On the application — Windsor splits life sciences into named codes.
What to watch for
Windsor has no major called Life Sciences. Biomedical Sciences (NSD), Biology (NSB), Biochemistry (NSY) and Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience (NSX) are the life-science codes, all direct entry at a 70% minimum. Windsor publishes a minimum average rather than a range, and its own pages show the minimum is a floor for consideration, not the bar: Nursing is listed at 70% but Windsor recommends 85%, and Concurrent Education lists 75% while the admitted mean is 86%. For limited-enrolment programmes, treat the published number as the lowest you can apply with, not what gets you in.
The same application also gets you to
Biomedical Sciences is the entry point for 1 other major at Windsor. You are not choosing between these at application time.
