Manyuniversities in Canada have a major and minor system where you can study life science disciplines alongside any other subject of your choosing, offering you breadth and flexibility as well as depth in your studies.

The university places strong emphasis on research particularly in the field of health sciences. This includes research from the Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute, which has turned sections of human skin into blood cells to help alleviate the shortage of blood donors.

Science programmes at McMaster University are flexible, covering everything from earth sciences to biomedical engineering and chemical biology. The honours integrated science (iSci) programme is particularly innovative, blending content from across the science disciplines, while focusing on the foundations of chemistry, Earth science, life science, mathematics and physics.

The university has produced one Nobel Laureate, four justices of the Supreme Court of Canada and 75 Rhodes Scholars. Over the years, alumni of the university have founded over 70,000 organisations throughout the world, one-third of which have a cultural, environmental or social mission or are non-profit.

As well as the Bachelor of Science general programme that allows students to specialise in a range of life science disciplines, the university also offers a number of joint degrees, including the BSc with a minor in business or education.

McGill offers a major in life sciences (biological and agricultural), a cross-disciplinary programme with core courses covering animal, plant, cell and molecular biology as well as specialisations from pure biology to multidisciplinary and applied life sciences. Courses have small class sizes and a variety of laboratory and field-based projects as well as internship and research opportunities.

Located on Vancouver Island, the centre provides year-round research facilities and technical assistance for biologists, ecologists and oceanographers, as well as offering placements to life science students.

Courses in the life sciences are overseen by the botany department, among the largest of its kind in North America, and the zoology department, which conducts research and teaching in developmental biology, comparative animal physiology, ecology and evolution.

At the University of Toronto, you can choose a specialist programme, where one discipline makes up the majority of your studies; a double major in which you split your time between two disciplines; or one major and two minors, where you study one subject in depth and two subjects alongside.

one half-course equivalent in Human Physiology: The course should cover the principles of human physiology including the living cell, the internal environment; neuro-muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal and endocrine systems; metabolism; reproduction; and homeostasis. An example of an accepted course from the University of Toronto would be course PSL201Y, Basic Human Physiology. Plant physiology will NOT be accepted nor will a combined animal/plant physiology. Combined human anatomy/physiology courses are acceptable as long as you have one full credit equivalent. Exercise physiology courses will NOT be accepted towards human physiology but may be applied towards physical/life science.

one half-course equivalent in Human Anatomy: Course content must be comprehensive, covering gross anatomy of the human musculoskeletal, visceral, and neurological systems. Combined human anatomy/physiology courses are acceptable as long as applicants have one full credit equivalent.

one half-course equivalent in Statistics or Research Methods: Statistic courses that may be acceptable include basic statistics, psychology statistics, geography statistics, kinesiology statistics, biometrics and quantitative research methods. Calculus is not acceptable as a statistics course and statistics content in other courses does not meet the requirement.

You must verify that your human physiology, human anatomy and statistics/research methods courses will be accepted by confirming the courses appear on the lists below. To do this, click on the school where the prerequisite course was taken. For example, clicking on Acadia University will bring you to a list of prerequisite courses that we will accept from Acadia University.

We do not list life/physical science courses, social science and/or humanities and/or languages courses because these categories are very broad and encompass hundreds of possible choices for each school. We've listed some of the commonly used courses below and their corresponding prerequisite category.

If you took human physiology, human anatomy and/or a statistics/research methods course that is not found in one of the lists below or if you aren't sure if a specific course would be considered life/physical science or social sciences/humanities/languages, please email ptstudent...@utoronto.ca.

If you have completed multiple courses that could potentially be used to satisfy a prerequisite category, always use the course that most clearly fits the prerequisite criteria. You need a minimum grade of B- (or 70%) in each prerequisite course, as per the grade recorded on the transcript. The course must be completed within the last seven years. A prerequisite course will only be counted towards your sub-GPA if it occurs within the last 20 half credits completed.

Remember that you need one half-credit in human anatomy and one half-credit in human physiology. You can also use two combined human anatomy and physiology half-credit courses to fulfill this requirement; however, if you choose this option, you must use two combined anatomy/physiology half-credit courses.
