Program Overview

York's Biomedical Physics program draws on the long-established strengths of our Biology and Physics programs, with uniquely interdisciplinary courses highlighting their interfaces.

Biomedical Physics is an exciting interdisciplinary field at the intersection of physics and biology and medicine. In Biomedical Physics, the laws, methods, and techniques of physics are applied to biological processes and human health. Biomedical Physics applies the knowledge of physics to investigate biological questions, such as the generation and transmission of nerve signals.

York’s program in Biomedical Physics is a four-year specialized honours degree that spans fundamental physics and its applications in medicine, aging and disease, biophotonics, vision and biosensory physics, and neurophysics. York University is one of only a few institutions that offers a comprehensive four-year undergraduate degree program in biophysics. Our Biomedical Physics program also offers many research opportunities through its association with the world-class Centre for Vision Research, Vision: Science to Applications, and Connected Minds research initiatives at York.

Unique to the program is a scope sufficiently broad to expose you to knowledge and techniques applicable not only to humans but also to plants and animals, providing a solid background for positions in the medical, environmental, agricultural, or veterinary sectors.

York offers the opportunity to work side-by-side with professors through the more than 40 summer research and work-study programs offered each year.
