| What it is | This program combines mechanical engineering with biomedical applications, so you study how to design and build machines and devices used in medicine and healthcare — from artificial joints to diagnostic equipment. Unlike a straight mechanical engineering degree, you focus on the intersection of mechanics and biology. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare and want to see their work help people directly. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. |
