ENRICHED COURSES AND ACTIVITIES
As an Honours student, you will get first-hand exposure to different career options through visits to professional research laboratories and special guest seminars given by accomplished Montreal educators. In your first semester, you will take enriched courses and Honours courses alongside other students in the Honours profile. Enriched courses move at a faster pace, cover additional topics, and present more challenging problems, while Honours courses emphasize learning activities that focus on science communication. Although you will learn the course material in greater depth, you will still take the same final exam as regular Science students.
TOP-NOTCH EQUIPMENT
Work with a state-of the art Amersham Imager that allows you to visualize DNA, RNA and proteins using fluorescent, chemiluminescent and colorimetric methods in the Biology lab. Generate infrared spectra of various samples with a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer in the Chemistry lab. These are just some of the amazing opportunities that await you.
CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY
Marianopolis offers an unmatched level of personalized support, with smaller class sizes, peer tutoring, and expert faculty whose doors are always open to give you the help you need outside the classroom. Our students tell us that the Science program is all about collaboration, not competition. Our supportive and motivating environment will empower you to reach your full potential. As an Honours student, you will be assigned a faculty member as a mentor. Your mentor will advise and guide you on academic matters, scientific research, and the Épreuve synthèse de programme (sometimes called the Comprehensive Assessment), which is the final project you must complete to graduate.
