The Quantitative Biology Honours option combines biology with physical sciences, mathematics, and computing, offered through McGill's Faculty of Science. Students choose between a theoretical ecology and evolutionary biology stream or a physical biology stream, blending coursework with a research project. The program draws on courses such as Molecular Biology of the Gene, Eukaryotic Cell Biology, Matrix Numerical Analysis, and Introduction to Biomolecular Engineering. Field courses allow students to study biology in local and international ecosystems, including Barbados, Panama, and Africa, with options for semester- or year-long independent research projects in labs or the field. The Honours structure prepares graduates for further study in the life sciences or medicine, as well as roles such as research biologist, botanist, or conservation officer. Applicants apply through the Faculty of Science, Biological, Biomedical & Life Sciences admission group.
