U of T Scarborough gave me the flexibility to explore different paths and build a degree that reflects my interests and values. A first-year biomedical ethics course shifted my focus from genetics to population health, and I now love exploring how molecular biology can improve accessible, preventative health care.

The hands-on co-op program gives students a real edge in their careers and deeper insight into their studies. My placement at Sanofi Pasteur let me apply class learning to vaccine development, deepening my love for biochemistry. Co-op linked classroom theory to real experience, and the daily routines with friends – whether studying late or playing volleyball – made it all worthwhile.
