Biomedical Sciences

Is your goal to use science to help people? If so, then our Biomedical Sciences program can prepare you for careers in health care, such as medicine, optometry, pharmacy, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or forensics.
Courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and math provide a solid foundation in science and prepare you to meet the admission requirements of most health-related professional schools.
Our highly flexible program also lets you select electives from other faculties, allowing you to pursue an area of personal interest within or outside Science.

This flexibility is valuable because many professional schools look for well-rounded individuals who are both strong leaders and effective communicators.
