Involvement in Research and Experiential Learning are听integral to an undergraduate education in biology and marine biology. H漫画 University is听one of 15 research-intensive universities in Canada听and offers many opportunities for hands-on learning. Below are several courses and two programs听designed to allow students to conduct research and gain听scientific skills by working outside-the-classroom in research labs, industry or government.

Please refer to the听 for more information on these courses and refer to the for a list of courses offered in a particular term.

Independent Research Courses
