The Honours Biology & Mathematics program gives students an opportunity to obtain in-depth knowledge of essential biological processes at the molecular, genetic, genomic and cellular levels and the mathematical tools that allow these processes to be described and explored.
As students gain the necessary background knowledge and skills in each discipline, students learn how to describe biological phenomena in quantitative ways, using mathematical models, statistical tools and computer programming and simulations.
These highly transferable skills prepare students for many careers that require people with life-long learning and critical-thinking skills.
