Program details

Overview

This 90-credit Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology trains specialists in the study of living systems at the molecular level for the biomedical, biopharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors. Alongside required coursework combining theory and practice, optional courses let students begin specializing in one of three profiles: bioinformatics, plant biotechnology, or molecular pathogenesis. The curriculum covers molecular and cell biology, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, and microbiology, together with complementary skills in statistics, omics sciences, and bioinformatics for biological data analysis. Students master modern experimental methods, contribute to the discovery of new knowledge, and develop analytical, critical-judgment, and problem-solving skills, as well as teamwork, scientific writing, and communication abilities. Full-time or part-time study is offered under a regular or co-op (stage-integrated) regime, with admission in the fall and winter terms on the Sherbrooke campus. The program offers an integrated bachelor's-to-master's pathway into the Master's in Biology, in either its research or applied omics sciences coursework stream, subject to eligibility confirmed with the program's academic direction.
