What will I learn?

The Life Sciences program at Queen’s University is one of our largest Bachelor of Science degree Plans on campus. It is in high demand by students who wish to pursue careers in biomedical research and health care focusing on human life. The Life Sciences plan offers courses ranging from human anatomy and physiology to the bacteria and viruses that compromise organ function to the cells that give rise to carcinomas and to the drugs that are used to cure us from infection and disease. Maclean’s Canadian Universities Guidebook cited Life Sciences at Queen’s as a Standout Program, having strength in ''the integration of basic health sciences with natural and physical science.'' Students are drawn to the strengths of the program, which include their ability to explore specific interests in Cancer Biology, Cardiorespiratory Sciences, Drug Development and Human Toxicology or Neurosciences.
