It is important to note that in addition to the courses required for admission into the Life Sciences admission category listed above (English and mathematics/calculus), some programs of study may require you to take additional specific high school subjects in order to take specific courses in first year, or for entry into that program in second year.

For example, if you are interested in psychology, you will not only need English and mathematics/calculus (which are required for admission into Life Sciences), but you will also need grade 12 biology or equivalent to be able to enrol in the psychology program of study at the end of your first year.

Since you are admitted to the general Life Sciences admission category, during your first year you will not be enrolled in a specific program. This means that during your first year, you are able to explore a number of different areas of study. You apply to a program (e.g. major in psychology) at the end of your first year, and can combine programs outside of your own admission category, excluding programs in Rotman Commerce.

To prepare for admission into your program of study at the end of first year:

Step 1: Search for your desired program of study (e.g. psychology) in the table in the "Life Sciences (H.B.Sc.)" section below

Step 2: Find the high school subject prerequisites for your desired program of study listed under Subject(s) Required in Addition to English

Step 3: These prerequisites subjects allow you to enrol in introductory first year courses needed for your program of study selection at the end of first year. You can find these courses listed under Program Area in the Academic Calendar
