Ciências Biológicas (BS)

The bachelor of science (BS) degree in biological sciences educates students broadly in biology. As a BS biological sciences student, you’ll explore the structure, function, behaviour and evolution of cells, organisms, populations and ecosystems.

Students seeking a degree in biological sciences can opt for a general curriculum (BLS) or focus on a particular area by selecting one of our four concentrations. All these programs lead to various overlapping postgraduation academic and career options; we encourage you to look at the differences in course requirements and select the curriculum that best matches your academic interests.
