    About

    Biomedical Science is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the fundamentals of human structure and function, as well as those of other animals. The first two years provide a background in human anatomy and psychology, in addition to more in-depth knowledge in basic sciences like biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics. At the end of second year, in addition to courses in biology and biochemistry, students may choose from an array of optional courses and obtain a minor in one of many programs offered, OR they can choose an option within the biomedical sciences (Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Bioanalytical Science, Medicinal Chemistry or Biostatistics). On graduation, they will be ready for more advanced research training or for admission to a professional program in human health.

    Students in the Biomedical Sciences program are also eligible to participate in the Co-Operative Education Programs.

    Admission to this program is competitive and higher averages are required.

    This program is offered in English and in French.

    English Program Requirements

    If you’re applying for an English-language program and have not completed at least three years of full-time study in an institution where English is the only language of instruction (aside from in language courses) in a country where English is an official language, you must submit your official score in one of the following language tests. The official results must be sent directly to us online from the test centre.

    In order to be considered for a program offered in English at the University of Ottawa, you must demonstrate that you are sufficiently proficient in the language to follow a postsecondary academic program. Please note that citizenship is not considered when evaluating English proficiency. To show that your English proficiency is at the academic level required for university studies, provide proof of either:

    • Postsecondary studies in English; or
    • Last three years of high school taken in English (Grades 10, 11 or 12)

    Remember: Language requirements are not based on citizenship. They are based on your country of study.
