    Course Summary

    Biology is an exciting, fast moving field, and one which incorporates an ever growing list of specialties. Even at the Baccalaureate level, you could specialise in Developmental Biology, Evolution, Anatomy, Physiology, Genetics, Ecology and more. 

    Saint Mary’s University offers several degrees in Biology, ranging from Bachelor’s level degrees to an MSc:

    • A Minor in Biology
    • A Concentration in Biology
    • A Major in Biology
    • An Honours Degree in Biology
    • A Double Major in Biology and one other field
    • A Double Honours Degree in Biology and one other field
    • An MSc in Applied Science, specialising in Biology

    Co-operative Education option

    Any of the university’s BSc degrees can be taken with co-op content. This will see you doing paid work as you learn. 

    Overseas and Exchange options

    Saint Mary’s Biology students will be able to sign up for a range of academic exchange programs with the university’s partner institutions in Africa, South America, Asia or Europe.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning And Teaching

    Saint Mary’s University relies on a wide range of learning and teaching methods. They seek to blend both traditional and innovative techniques to produce a unique curriculum appropriate to each degree they offer. For example, you’ll attend large lecture classes but also smaller and more interactive seminars and tutorial sessions. Many subjects have experiential or co-operative learning content. The Biology program includes many lab and field classes, for example. 

    Career Possibilities

    A degree including Biology content can lead to many different careers in the public, private and not for profit sectors. Many Baccalaureate level students stay on for a Master’s degree, though many others go directly into working in their chosen field. Saint Mary’s Biology graduates have historically taken on roles as professionals in patent law or the health sciences, science policy advisors, environmental consultants, lab technicians, geneticists and wildlife conservation officers. 

    Entry & Credit

    St Mary’s offers both Baccalaureate and Master’s level programs in Biology.

    Applicants at the Baccalaureate level must typically have completed a secondary school education or the international equivalent. Great weight will be given to the GPA earned by your final year.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test.
