Program Description Our Applied Life Sciences program (previously Applied Biomolecular Science) focuses on the study of living organisms at the bio-molecular, or cellular, level. This interdisciplinary program blends theories and practices from Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry and Physics with hands-on learning through laboratory courses, research opportunities and internships. You will explore diverse topics in order to understand the extent of biological diversity at the molecular level and develop critical thinking skills with respect to modern life science. These topics include: Cell Biology Genetics Microbiology Biochemistry Evolution Physiology Pharmacology Our focus on the practical application of your skills provides you with valuable laboratory and data analysis training, as well as experience working as part of an interprofessional team. As a graduate, you will be well prepared for a career in biotechnology, forensics, diagnostic laboratories and the health sector. NOTE: Almost all Lakehead University programs are designed with courses that require successful completion of a a Fall session prerequisite course. As a result, students who choose to begin their academic studies in the Winter session will find the course selection extremely limited and will be restricted to attending on a part-time basis until the following Fall academic session. Most study permits require that the applicant is a full-time student. Because of this, It is recommended that students apply for a September start.
