| What it is | You study the engineering behind medical devices and electrical systems that keep people healthy. This combined program blends electrical engineering with biomedical technology, so you learn to design everything from pacemakers to imaging equipment rather than focusing on either field alone. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you hands-on experience in hospitals, device companies, or research labs alongside your classroom learning. It suits people drawn to both electronics and healthcare who want to solve real problems in medicine. | This program teaches you how health systems actually work — covering everything from how hospitals are run and data is managed to the policies that shape who gets care and how. Unlike pure health science programs, you'll focus on the business, technology, and policy side of medicine rather than clinical practice. It suits people interested in health but drawn to organization, technology, or social systems more than direct patient care. | This program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory. |

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.
