Biology

Biology at Brandon University is about much more than the scientific study of animals, plants and microbes. First-year introduces the diversity of life on the planet and explains how genes and cells function. Second-year courses further explore diversity and fundamental biological and ecological processes, leading to third- and fourth-year courses with greater specialization. Students can pursue degrees in two different streams: Biology or Biomedical.There are many opportunities for hands-on experiences for undergraduate students in the biology program. Students can engage in research activities with professors through research topics courses and the honours thesis option, and when their undergraduate program is complete our students have the option of BUпПХs new M.Sc. (Environmental & Life Sciences) working on a research project with a Biology professor. Biology is one of the most research-productive departments at Brandon University, housing professors that have successfully pursued Federal and Provincial government and private sector funding, resulting in tangible research outcomes for our students while at the same time raising Brandon UniversityпПХs national and international profile. Every Biology Major and Minor is assigned a Faculty advisor. This advisor guides and mentors our students through our program for their entire program of study. This coupled with small class sizes eases the transition into our program and enhances student success.
