Biology is the study of plants, animals and the diversity of life in an evolutionary context. As a Biology student you will gain insight into how organisms interact, how genes are inherited, how creatures evolve and much more. Our programs are practical and hands-on with research and fieldwork opportunities in almost every course to enhance in-class learning. You have the freedom to study Biology in a way that suits your career aspirations. You may choose courses that will prepare you to become a professional biologist, or you can combine your biological studies with a major in Chemistry, Geography, Environmental Studies or Outdoor Recreation, Parks & Tourism. Our program also offers 4 areas of concentration that will allow you to further study a particular area of interest including: Animal Sciences, Biodiversity & Conservation, Plant Sciences, and Neuroscience.
You will be exposed to the central aspects of Biology including:
- Form and Function
