| What it is | You study the science and practice of patient care, learning human anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside supervised hospital and community placements. This is a direct entry program, meaning you begin nursing coursework immediately rather than completing general prerequisites first. 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 introduces you to how Earth's physical systems — climate, geology, water — interact with human society and geography. You explore environmental challenges through both natural science and social perspectives, rather than focusing on just one. It suits students curious about environmental issues from multiple angles who want hands-on experience through co-op placements. | This program teaches you how to design and manage the built and natural environments — from city neighborhoods and transportation systems to parks and land use. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at planning firms, municipalities, or environmental organizations, giving you real experience while you study. It suits people who want hands-on learning, enjoy solving problems about how communities develop, and are willing to commit to the co-op schedule. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
