Overview

The University Biological Sciences Diploma is a versatile program that covers prerequisites for professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, dental hygiene, medical laboratory sciences, and radiation therapy. It also seamlessly transitions students into the final two years of a Bachelor of Biological Sciences degree. Graduates are well-prepared for biology-related careers in various industries and research institutions. This program is designed to meet the initial two years' requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Acceptance into any university program after completing studies at NWP typically depends on course selection and academic performance. Course requirements can vary between institutions and are often assessed on an individual basis. It is recommended that students reach out to the university they are interested in and consult with an NWP Advisor early on. Keep in mind that post-secondary science programs can differ, so students might need to take additional courses depending on their chosen institution. Also, note that degree-granting institutions typically do not grant transfer credits for grades of D or D+.
