Biology is one of the most rapidly evolving and diverse sciences in the modern world, exploring all aspects of life from biomolecules to ecosystems. The Department of Biological Sciences is committed to advancing our understanding of biological structure and function, and developing new tools and technologies to address current and emerging problems facing all living organisms.

Collaborating with world-class researchers and using state-of-the-art equipment, students in the Department of Chemistry experiment with, and expand our understanding of matter and its properties. Today, the research and teaching facilities of the Department are housed in the Parker Chemistry Building, a five-story building which forms part of the University’s Science complex.

How many computers have you used today? Think about the app used to find your bus, the online tool used to post pictures, and the video games you are looking forward to playing. Computers and software aid, inform, and enrich our lives. A degree in Computer Science will help you contribute to the incredible ways computers are shaping our lives.

Department of Microbiology is located on the Fort Garry Campus and in the Department of Medical Microbiology on the Bannatyne campus, but microbiologists are also found in Agriculture and Food Science, Human Ecology, Engineering and the Clayton Riddell Faculty of the Environment.  The existence of two core departments is a reflection of the history of the formation of the University of Manitoba, while its wide spread is a reflection of the importance of microbiology in so many disciplines.

Graduates from its various programs currently hold prestigious positions in institutions in North America and Europe. The current demand for physicists by a variety of academic, industrial and governmental institutions is growing, so that the choice of job opportunities offered to students presently graduating is far broader and more rewarding than it has been for the past several decades.

Being a statistician is challenging. In addition to having knowledge of statistical methods and concepts, you need to have skills in mathematics and critical thinking and you need to be able to communicate effectively. Statisticians contribute to scientific inquiry by applying their mathematical and statistical expertise to the design of surveys and experiments; to the collection, processing, and analysis of data; and to the interpretation of the results.

Mathematics provides the language, reasoning and analytic tools that many other disciplines use to investigate their areas. These include all the physical sciences, computer and engineering sciences, social sciences, and the biological and health sciences. A wide range of business, industrial, and government programs rely on mathematics to provide insight and analysis.
