About this course

What will I learn?

Honours Biology Core students investigate a wide array of knowledge in animal, plant and microbial biology, as well as ecology, evolution, molecular biology and genetics. This is a flexible program that allows students to choose biology courses investigating their own interests, or to develop an interdisciplinary approach to biology. The program is built upon a set of fundamental courses that are shared with other Biology Honours specializations. You will be able to choose biology courses following your own interests, or to develop an interdisciplinary approach to biology.
