Biology

Biology is the study of living organisms. By understanding and defining what constitutes life, students are able to study individual components of organisms while understanding the relation to the whole organism. Laboratory work, combined with practical field experience, allow students to directly engage in research. First-year students are paired with faculty members and all Biology students are encouraged to participate in important field trips. Further research opportunities exist within four Research Centres, each designed to address current local and global issues.Biology graduates are prepared for careers in biological and related fields such as applied science, health science, medicine, and/or graduate studies.
