Bachelor of Science - Biology

Mount Saint Vincent University · Halifax, Canada

About this programme

Biology is the science of life. Students will study fundamental concepts of life and its different forms. From simplest microbes to the highly complex animals and plants, students will learn about their genetics, cellular and molecular biology, morphology (form) and physiology (function), as well as their developmental biology and their interactions and ecological importance in the environment. Students at the Mount enjoy a close knit community of students and faculty, small class sizes, and life in Halifax.

Biology students will graduate with a BSc or a BSc Honours degree after four years of study. Biology may also be taken as a combined major, concentration or minor. Students will develop a solid background in natural sciences such as chemistry and physics as well as transferable skills like analytical and scientific thinking, problem solving, analysis and interpretation of data sets, and summarizing data and communicating results through written reports or verbal presentations.

Before committing to a field of specialization and starting a thesis project, students will have the opportunity to conduct directed research projects with Mount faculty to get better insight in the field of research. Areas of specialization in research groups at the Mount include plant biology, animal science and microbial biology.
