Admission

Direct entry from high school

Admission requirements to the Faculty of Health Sciences are the same as the general admission requirements to SFU. Students who are applying to the BSc in Health Sciences must also pass Math 12 with at least 70%. Health Sciences BSc students are also required to take first year Biology, first year Chemistry, and first year Physics as part of their required curriculum. For this reason it is strongly recommended that applicants complete Grade 12 Biology, Grade 12 Chemistry, and Physics 11.

It is recommended that students who plan on transferring to a Bachelor's program in Health Sciences from a college in British Columbia should take the following courses prior to the transfer:
