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 teaches you to design and build complex systems — often combining software, hardware, human behaviour, and business — that solve real-world problems. Unlike a traditional engineering program focused on one discipline, it blends computer science, design thinking, and management so you learn how systems work across multiple fields. It suits students who want engineering skills but prefer understanding how all the pieces fit together and spending time working in industry during their degree.	You study both mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, learning to design machines and systems while also programming and working with software and hardware integration. Unlike doing these as separate degrees, you graduate with credentials in both fields and understand how they work together in modern engineering. This suits students who want to bridge mechanical design with computing, or who are drawn to robotics, automation, and intelligent systems.
