In the University of Waterloo’s Biomedical Sciences program study human and animal systems and their functions related to health, disease, and the healing process. Students will diversify their knowledge by learning about viruses, bacteria, and other microbes, and how these (along with genetic and environmental influences) can impact health. They will examine how the body ages, how disease and injury impact it, and what diagnostic tools can identify physiological problems.
Students start with foundational courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and math that prepare them to meet the admission requirements of most health-related professional schools. After first year, learners will focus on human biology with courses in anatomy, physiology, histology, microbiology, and biochemistry. Students will add some complementary courses from science and related disciplines and then round out their degree with electives of their choice.
Upon graduation, graduates will have the solid scientific foundation they need to succeed in most health care professions or to pursue specialized Master’s or PhD degrees.
Students can choose to also include one or more of the minors available to all Waterloo students. Popular areas of focus include Psychology, Medical Physiology, Chemistry, Biophysics, and Biochemistry.
