Trent’s Health, Life Sciences & Medicine degrees will start you in Peterborough or Durham, but can take you around the world with unique program offerings that prepare you for an impactful career in health care, athletics, or research. 
Description

Our popular Medical Professional Stream, which you can add to any Arts or Science degree - Biomedical Science, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Biology, Psychology, and Kinesiology are popular choices - is a fast track to medical school for aspiring doctors, with improved chances of entry into our partner medical schools.   

Our unique Health & Behaviour and one-of-a-kind Biomedical Science degrees are innovative healthcare education with studies that cross multiple departments and subjects, giving you an interdisciplinary education with opportunities for fieldwork and shadowing that most undergraduate students don’t get.
