Biomedical Science

This program will suit students who have a specific objective, that is, moving on to professional health-sciences programs. The program’s built-in flexibility provides several alternatives to students deciding to change their direction as their studies progress. Finally, this program will allow students to link a B.Sc. in the Faculty of Science with a second concentration from the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Health Sciences or the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The program provides students a number of options: it not only includes the pre-requisites needed for admission to professional programs (a concentration with the pre-requisites for admission to medicine; an honours with the pre-requisites for admission to each of the health-science professional master’s programs), but also boasts a solid general curriculum that largely and advantageously exceeds the scope of these pre-requisites, both in the sciences and the humanities.

It opens access to graduate studies programs focusing on health-sciences research (Master’s in epidemiology, doctorate in health sciences, future master’s degree in health sciences, etc.)


By carefully selecting their optional courses in the sciences, students can obtain a combined or double degree, in which they combine their honours biomedical science degree with a concentration in another science discipline. Students can then move on to graduate studies in the Faculty of Science or Faculty of Medicine program after completing the honours year of the program they’re aiming for. It must be clear however that a student does not have access to the graduate programs of the Faculty unless the honours year in that program is completed.
