Bachelor of Science (Applied Life Sciences Major)

On this Applied Life Sciences major, students will explore the modern applications of bio-molecular research in anthropology, chemistry, biology, and physics as a student of Applied Life Sciences. This interdisciplinary program focuses on the study of living organisms at the bio-molecular or cellular level, and the human manipulation of molecular biological processes, with hands-on learning through laboratory courses, research opportunities, and internships. Students will attain skills in cutting-edge molecular biology, biotechnology, and diagnostic methods in the world-renowned labs including the Paleo DNA Laboratory. The BSc (Applied Life Sciences major) program requirements are similar to the HBSc (Applied Life Sciences Major) program, except that students shall not take an honours thesis, as noted in the List of Recommended Courses.
