The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) programs offer distinct academic paths. Students select from two focus areas: Health Sciences or Biodiversity and Ecology. Qualified upper-year B.Sc. candidates may transition to the Honours program during their final year upon meeting specific criteria.
The B.Sc. curriculum emphasizes fundamental scientific disciplines (mathematics, physics, and chemistry). This degree is ideal for those pursuing advanced studies (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) or professional programs like medicine or physiotherapy.
The B.A. Biology program suits students passionate about biology but less focused on core sciences. Offering greater flexibility than the B.Sc., many students combine it with another B.A. major. For instance, a future health policy analyst might pursue a B.A. in Biology (Health Science) alongside Political Science, while an ecology-focused student could pair B.A. Biology (Biodiversity and Ecology) with Environmental Studies.
