| 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. | You study nursing, which means learning how to care for patients, understand human biology and health conditions, and develop the clinical skills you'll use in hospitals and clinics. This four-year program combines classroom learning with hands-on practice in real healthcare settings from early on, rather than delaying clinical work until later years. It suits people who want direct patient care, can handle shift work and emotional demands, and are comfortable with both science and people skills. | Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. |
