| What it is | You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing. | You study how the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | You study how the mind and body work together, and how social and environmental factors shape health. This program pairs psychology courses with practical training in areas like human biology, health policy, and social work. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at healthcare or research settings alongside your studies. It suits people curious about mental health, public health, or how systems support people's wellbeing. |
