The Faculty of Science offers students a variety of four-year degree programs in science. These programs are highly focused on subjects relevant to emerging areas of science knowledge and practice. The Biological Science program provides three innovative specializations: Environmental Toxicology, Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. In addition, students will be able to work with an advisor to customize a program to match their interests and career plans by selecting Complementary Studies in Biological Science. In the Chemistry program, students can choose to pursue a comprehensive Chemistry degree or major in Chemical Biology or Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Specializations in Astrophysics, and Energy and Environmental Physics are also available in addition to a Comprehensive degree in Physics. A Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Computer Science, with a specialization in Digital Media, is available in addition to a Comprehensive degree. Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Forensic Science with specializations in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics are also offered in the Faculty of Science at UOIT. In all programs, minors are also available in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Computational Science.
In keeping with the university’s mission to prepare students for careers, our science programs emphasize the development of leadership skills. The university offers students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science and Management (Honours) degree in the Applied and Industrial Mathematics program (including co-op education), and any specialization including co-op education within the following programs: Biological Science, Chemistry, Computer Science, Forensic Science, and Physics. This five-year degree provides students with an opportunity to combine their interests in science with business management skills.
In addition, these academic programs in the Faculty of Science include the opportunity for experiential learning. Co-operative education (or co-op) provides up to twenty months of career-related experience, making the academic programs richer and more meaningful. Co-op not only develops intellectual growth through the application of theoretical principles learned in the classroom to real world problems, but also enhances personal growth by helping students to develop the knowledge, perspective, and confidence to transform their lives.
In order to further opportunities for students and research, the Faculty of Science maintains strong links with other faculties in the university, in particular Education, Health Sciences and Engineering.
Faculty and staff at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology come from diverse academic backgrounds and are excited to share their knowledge and life experiences with students.
