| 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 how to design and build medical devices and equipment that help diagnose and treat disease. This blends biology and engineering, so you learn both how the human body works and how to create machines and systems that interact with it. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at hospitals, medical companies, or research labs, giving you real hands-on experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to healthcare and prefer learning through workplace projects alongside their coursework. | You study how to design and build medical devices, artificial organs, and diagnostic equipment by combining engineering principles with biology and healthcare technology. Unlike a straight engineering program, this co-op version alternates your school terms with paid work at hospitals, medical companies, and research labs, so you gain hands-on experience alongside your coursework. It suits students who want to solve real health problems through invention and are comfortable with heavy math and science. |
