It suits people who are confident they want to become registered nurses and are ready to combine classroom learning with hands-on patient care from the start. | This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications.

Unlike general science programs, nursing is direct-entry and includes mandatory clinical placements in hospitals and healthcare settings starting early. It suits people who want to combine science knowledge with direct patient interaction and are ready for the responsibility that comes with healthcare work. | Biomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular and cellular level, with focus on disease, human health, and biotechnology applications. It combines biology, chemistry, and lab work more deeply than a general biology program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or biotech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. |
