What is Bio-Physical Science?
Biology studies the diversity and complexity of living organisms and how they use their senses and interact with their environment to find food, communicate and reproduce. Physics identifies mathematical laws that govern nature and makes predictions about the forces that propel systems. Biophysics bridges the complexity of living organisms and the simplicity of physical laws by exploring the patterns that appear in life and analyzing them with the laws of math and physics.
Where does it lead?
McGill's bio-physical science programs give graduates the skills to pursue careers in medicine, industry, research, education or politics. The interdisciplinary nature of the programs means graduates are uniquely equipped to tackle problems at the intersection between the living world and the physical sciences in fields as diverse as electronics, agriculture and neuropsychology, to name just a few.
