Our program provides an extensive selection of science disciplines, covering biological, environmental, psychological, and sports sciences. You'll master computational and statistical data analysis techniques along with quantitative research methods, equipping you to handle large datasets effectively. The curriculum also includes optional language and creative writing courses. Upon graduation, you'll possess a distinctive skill set that enhances your professional competitiveness.
The first year establishes fundamental life science knowledge, encompassing biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, biological psychology, and environmental sciences. You'll develop both practical laboratory skills and analytical capabilities. In your second year, you'll select specialized subjects to study alongside bioinformatics, choosing two streams from approved combinations. The program also offers opportunities to explore non-scientific disciplines.
During your final year, you'll designate a major and minor from permitted combinations, with the flexibility to include a non-science elective. You'll complete all modules in your major field and select half from your minor concentration. Within your major specialization, you'll undertake a research project that cultivates your ability to analyze, assess, interpret, and communicate scientific concepts across various life science disciplines.
