Universities Accepting Biology HL
University of British Columbia
Vancouver, BC
Expert's Insight: "A BIG CREDIT WIN — BUT KNOW WHAT IT DOES (AND DOESN'T) REPLACE" The official win: With a 6 or 7 in IB Biology HL, UBC grants BIOL_V 1st-year level (8 credits) and exempts you from BIOL_V 111, BIOL_V 121, and BIOL_V 180. (See UBC's official IB transfer credit table: UBC First-Year Credit (IB).) The ...

McMaster University (Life Sciences Gateway (Program))
Hamilton, ON
Expert's Insight: McMaster lists IB Biology HL as potentially granting 6 units (BIOL 1A03 + 1M03), but the most important word in their policy is DISCRETIONARY. The Reality: Unlike McGill or UBC, McMaster doesn't have a rigid equivalency table. They evaluate IB credits after you are admitted, and the Faculty of Scien...

University of Waterloo
Waterloo, ON
Expert's Insight: Waterloo's BIOL 239 is a notorious step up in complexity from IB Genetics. That 5 might get you the credit, but you'll be expected to know the material cold for upper-year labs.

Expert's Insight: ⚠️ ENGINEERING STUDENT ALERT: Engineering Faculty grants NO transfer credit for IB Biology HL. Your score (5, 6, or 7) does not convert to Queen's Biology courses and does not count toward your degree requirements. Do not rely on this credit for Engineering. If you took IB Bio HL as an elective, it ...
