Biophysics ubc

UBC Science brings together a community of students and scholars internationally recognized for its commitment to discovery and innovation--in the lab and in the classroom.

Biophysics is the application of quantitative principles and methods to biological systems. Biophysics is thus interdisciplinary, and has much overlap with tools and ideas used in Chemistry.

Study life at every level, from atoms and molecules to cells, organisms, and environments, while you look for and analyze patterns.

The primary objective of the Biophysics program is to give students a good working knowledge of one subfield in the biological sciences at the senior undergraduate level. Students graduating in the program will also have an understanding of the basic concepts and quantitative skills of physics.
