Biological Science encompasses all aspects of plants and animals including their relationship to each other and to the environment. The areas of study leading to the award of a science degree in Biological Science include cell biology, plant and animal physiology, ecology, genetics, taxonomy, marine biology and evolutionary studies. These studies are particularly relevant in the fields of agriculture, forestry, wildlife management, conservation and related environmental sciences.

This plan is for a Biological Science major within the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) program. It is comprised of 144 UOC of courses as listed below. Students need to ensure that all other program requirements are met as per the 3972 Bachelor of Science (Advanced) program rules such that a total of 192 UOC is completed.
