Honours BSc in Global Health - St. George in Toronto Canada | University of Toronto

The Human Biology Program is an interdisciplinary undergraduate initiative jointly offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science and the Faculty of Medicine. Our curriculum explores human biology through multiple perspectives, combining insights from biological and medical sciences with social sciences and humanities. The program's framework introduces students to the multidisciplinary nature of human biology while allowing specialization in specific research areas.
A key goal of the Human Biology Program (HMB) is cultivating essential skills in students: innovative problem-solving, independent learning, data analysis, and clear communication. HMB equips students for professional paths where interdisciplinary knowledge in life and health sciences proves valuable. The program provides hands-on learning experiences through pioneering teaching methods, collaborations with other university departments, community partnerships with Toronto organizations, and research opportunities in campus labs and affiliated hospitals.
Following first-year life science coursework, undergraduates can join their chosen HMB specialization: Fundamental Genetics and Applications, Global Health, Health and Disease, Human Biology, or Neuroscience. Students begin with core courses establishing foundational knowledge before advancing to specialized subjects with greater focus, while developing independent and collaborative learning skills. Senior HMB students enhance their analytical abilities through program-specific seminar courses that deepen their expertise in human biology at the University of Toronto.
The HMB: Global Health specialization aims to teach core biological principles while examining how social, economic, and cultural factors influence health outcomes worldwide.
