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 four-year combined degree integrates the study of conflict, human rights, security, and defence policy across social science and humanities perspectives. Unlike separate bachelor's and master's programs, you complete both degrees as one continuous stream, allowing you to move quickly from foundational concepts to advanced research and analysis. It suits students interested in understanding international relations, peace-building, or policy work who want deeper expertise than a single undergraduate degree provides.	You study how governments work, political systems, and social policies that affect people's lives. The co-op requirement means you'll spend alternating school and work terms at organizations involved in politics, policy, or public affairs, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to understand politics deeply and test whether a career in government, advocacy, or policy work fits them.
