Biology

The best preparation for teaching biology as a first teaching subject is a BSc Honours degree in biology. However, Faculty of Science and Engineering students who select biology as their first teaching subject and either chemistry, physics or mathematics as their second teaching subject, may wish to consider the Honours Science degree program which allows for a broader range of courses than in Specialized or Combined Honours.

Candidates for intermediate/senior must complete a total of 36 credits for biology as a first teaching subject and any 24 credits for biology as a second teaching subject from the following list:

SC/BIOL 1010 6.00
