BSc with Honours in Biomedical Science
Are you fascinated by the study of who we are as human beings – not only from a scientific perspective, but also from a holistic point of view? With its emphasis on the whole human being, this program provides a basis in anatomy, psychology and health sciences, with a strong knowledge of biology and biochemistry. Also, thanks to its structure, the program readies you for second-entry programs in the health sciences or medicine, if you’re so inclined. You can combine this program with a minor from any faculty, including the Faculty of Science. This program allows you to do a fourth-year research project with thesis under the supervision of a researcher from the Faculties of Science or Medicine at the University of Ottawa or from a University–affiliated research institute.
