About this program

A program in Life Sciences will allow you to investigate a multitude of life forms and their biochemical, molecular and genetic interactions – from viruses, bacteria and protozoans to fungi, plants and animals, including humans.

The program involves learning and understanding research in the life sciences from a range of interconnected disciplines including biochemistry, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, genetics and bioinformatics.

It also allows you to develop an additional level of expertise with dual choices of a disciplinary major(s) which suit students’ interest and an interdisciplinary capstone.

Quantitative life science combines mathematics, statistics and information technology and applies them in all areas of the life and environmental sciences.

Our Life Sciences program majoring in Quantitative Life Sciences is suited for students who wish to explore and interpret data in life and environmental sciences from molecules to ecosystems.
