Description:

Students can prepare to enter the third year of the University of Alberta’s Biology program by completing the first two years of the program at Northwestern Polytechnic. The Honours and Specialization programs in the Biological Sciences offer a voluntary Industrial Internship Program (IIP), which gives students the opportunity to augment their studies with periods of paid, discipline related work. The IIP is usually made available to students in the third year of their program and students should apply for admission to the IIP prior to year three. Graduates in the Biological Sciences from the various concentrations/disciplines may continue on with graduate studies, work in research and development at universities, medical schools, research institutes and with private industries. Other career opportunities exist in agriculture, ecology/field work, forestry, laboratories, medicine, social policy, teaching and veterinary medicine (just to name some).
