Program overview
A two year university transfer diploma covering biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics at first and second year university level, with laboratory work and the breadth requirements degree programmes expect.
The purpose here is transfer, not employment. Students complete two years at a lower cost in a smaller setting and then move into the third year of a science degree at a partner university. Confirm the receiving institution, the credit agreement and seat availability before enrolling, because progression is not automatic.
The institution publishes CIP code 26.0101 for University Biological Sciences Diploma, and that code appears on the eligible field of study list, so the programme meets the field of study requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering University Biological Sciences Diploma with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for University Biological Sciences Diploma in writing before you pay a deposit.
The academic bar for University Biological Sciences Diploma is Grade 12 / High School with 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6, and tuition for University Biological Sciences Diploma is recorded at CAD 16,200 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 4 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the University Biological Sciences Diploma application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.

Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Transfer to a Science Degree: the intended outcome
- Laboratory Assistant: with the completed degree
- Research Technician: after degree completion
- Environmental Technician: applied science roles
- Health Science Pathways: after further study

Reality check: as a transfer diploma this credential is a stage rather than a destination, and the full plan including the receiving university should be mapped before any deposit is paid.
