University of Toronto National Biology Competition (U of T NBC)多大全国生物学术活动由多伦多大学主办，自1995年起，每年为中学生提供一个可以测试自己关于生物这门学科知识储备和理解能力的平台。至2019年，已经成功举办了24届。如今，University of Toronto National Biology Competition已经成为Canadian Biology Olympiad（CBO）加拿大生物奥赛除Skills Portfolio实验技能外理论知识的唯一选拔标准，专为加拿大推举可以参与International Biology Olympiad（IBO）国际生物奥赛的优秀学生。

对于想日后申请多伦多大学的学生来说，这项学术活动不仅仅是一个展示你学术水平争取奖学金的平台，也是让多大相关专业老师对你留下一次深刻印象的机会，为日后申请打好基础。

U of T NBC成绩优异者有机会获得多伦多大学的奖学金。该比赛接受加拿大境外学校报名，但是目前在中国没有承办机构。

竞赛涵盖高中生所有生物课程，且竞赛内容可以体现各省中学生生物课程内相似的内容，其主要考试范围为：

● Genetics遗传学：meiosis, sexual and asexual reproduction, Mendelian inheritance, DNA, genes and chromosomes, protein synthesis, mutation, genetic disorders in humans, gene expression and manipulation

● Evolution进化：historical context for evolutionary theory, evidence for evolution, population genetics, evolutionary mechanisms, adaptation, speciation, extinction

● Biological diversity生物的多样性：taxonomy, phylogeny, origin of life, microbial, fungal, plant, and animal diversity
