Do I need to have taken biology in high school to study Life Sciences?
Whether you can study Life Sciences without having taken biology in high school depends on the admission requirements and curriculum of the university, faculty, and program you are considering. Some classes may assume basic biological knowledge, so if you have not studied biology, reviewing terminology, cells, and genetics in advance can help. Check the official admissions guidelines, enrollment conditions, and whether introductory or supplementary courses are available.
Key points
- Check required admission subjects and enrollment conditions for each university, faculty, and program.
- Reviewing basic terminology, cells, and genetics can help you engage with the coursework.
- The availability of introductory classes or supplementary support differs by university and program.
Things to check
