Building your Science degree

Your Science degree offers the flexibility to explore your interests while following a clear academic framework. Learn how Program Groups, the Foundation Program, Program Streams, and Program of Study work together to shape your degree.

Discover through research

As an undergraduate, you can contribute to scientific discovery by working with McGill professors, developing research skills, and earning academic credit through research opportunities at McGill and abroad. Many students also present their research and build the skills to communicate science to a range of audiences.

Learn in the field 

Take your learning beyond the classroom through field studies and internships that offer hands-on experience in real-world settings. The Science Field Studies & Internship Office connects students with opportunities to gain practical skills and explore careers in science.
