Biology

Hands-on learning

Our faculty members have active graduate and undergraduate research programs in genetics, ecology, behavior, evolution, physiology, and plant science. Professors often invite undergrads to assist with ongoing research, providing an experience that is highly valued by graduate schools and future employers. Students can also work as research or teaching assistants and have the opportunity to pursue their own research through our Biology honours degree program. In addition, Biology students can apply for professional experience through the Co-operative Education program. Students also benefit from taking part in an active student society, field course offerings, and study-abroad programs
