BA/BS in Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical Sciences is a Bachelor of Science offered jointly by Brock University's Departments of Biological Sciences and Health Sciences within the Faculty of Mathematics and Science, centred on the molecular foundations of human health. The programme draws on the Health Sciences department's strength in medical education and the Biological Sciences department's expertise in molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry. Core topics include human physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, microbiology, biochemistry, biomedical data science and genetics, building a foundation for careers in biomedical research, including human genetics and molecular biology. The programme concludes with an eight-month honours thesis in which students conduct original research under the supervision of a faculty member. It is designed for students aspiring to careers in medicine, allied health fields or biomedical research, including biomedical research, clinical research, the pharmaceutical industry and genetic counselling.
