Description:

How does a four-letter DNA code become a living being? Why do animals and humans behave the way they do? How many species are yet to be discovered?

When you study Biology at Western, you'll learn to view the natural world at the cellular level using the latest in analytical instrumentation. You’ll experience our flora and fauna as interconnected global ecosystems through sophisticated experimental design and data analysis. And you'll also have the opportunity to get your hands dirty with a field research project in a biodiverse location like the Adirondacks, Costa Rica, or Ecuador.

You can complete this program as part of a Bachelor or Honours Bachelor degree. Registration in the honours degree usually begins in the second year, but admission may be gained in the third or fourth year if you meet requirements.
