| The Honours Biology – Discovery Sub-Plan program allows students to choose Biology courses that reflect their own interests but includes more lab and research experience than the Honours Biology program. Biology – Discovery students obtain practical training in experimental design by choosing at least 9 units from the laboratory and field biology course list (see below) and are required to complete a 6 or 9 unit independent research project in faculty labs in level IV. Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. |
