Why choose this program?

The Biology and Health track is a 3-year post-secondary program designed for students who have completed a general high school curriculum.

While the coursework primarily focuses on life sciences, this program is inherently interdisciplinary. It offers a generalist engineering foundation through a curriculum that encompasses major scientific fields such as mathematics, physics, life sciences, and digital technologies.

Students will explore how technology and AI are transforming the life sciences—from medical imaging and bio-nanotechnology revolutionizing diagnostics and treatments, to connected devices and embedded systems enabling artificial hearts and cochlear implants.
