Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biotechology (BBTA)

This full-time program will be delivered at the Seneca @York Campus and features small class sizes and will be offered in a flexible, hybrid format from semester three onward, allowing students to experience both a hands-on, in-class learning approach, as well as a virtual learning environment. In addition, students must complete a mandatory, work-integrated learning placement. Students also have the option to sign up for an optional four-month work term. In the final year of the program, students will apply practical and theoretical concepts to design a large-scale, industry-based capstone project.

In this four-year Honor Baccalaureate program, students will prepare for work as a biological technologist, research and development associate, microbiology quality control technologist and more. The program combines in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical application to prepare them for success in a laboratory environment. Students will also learn how to design and implement the latest experimental techniques, and use tools required in several fields of biotechnology including molecular genetics, immunology, virology and pharmaceuticals.  

Through this program, students will have the opportunity to gain industry experience through two industry focussed capstone projects designed to mirror the research, methodology, and commercialization process in industry. Using the latest equipment, they will have the opportunity to work with peers, faculty and potentially with industry collaborators to develop their unique capstone experience.
