Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science from the University of Ottawa, offered in English and French with a French Immersion Stream available. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, covering human anatomy, physiology, and psychology alongside foundational science courses in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics. The first two years establish this core scientific background, after which students may pursue a minor in another program or choose a specialization option, with named options including neuroscience, cellular and molecular medicine, bioanalytical science, medicinal chemistry, or biostatistics. A cooperative education option is also available. The program is designed for students preparing for advanced research training or for admission to professional programs in human health fields, and the page notes that admission is competitive, with higher academic averages required than for some other programs. It suits students who want a broad grounding across the biomedical sciences with the flexibility to narrow their focus in a later specialization, positioning graduates for research careers or further study in health-related professional programs.
