Program details

Overview

Biomedical Sciences is a Bachelor's Degree programme within Carleton University's Health Sciences offerings in the Faculty of Science. The programme provides a foundation in the biomedical sciences, covering the genetic, biochemical, immunological, physiological and developmental aspects of human health, while situating this study within a broader view of health that considers cultural, psychological, technological and environmental perspectives. Coursework ranges from molecular biology and anatomy to public health policy and epidemiology, combined with laboratory courses and hands-on learning experiences. Students have access to paid summer research internship opportunities and complete a capstone project that provides practical experience through research or field placements. The programme is designed for students interested in the biological and social determinants of human health, preparing graduates for further study or careers in health-related research, healthcare and public health fields.
