| What it is | Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care. | You study how Earth's materials, structures, and processes work by combining geology with physics — essentially learning the physics that explains what geologists observe in rocks, earthquakes, and planetary systems. This program differs from studying geology or physics alone because you'll apply physical principles directly to Earth science problems rather than studying them separately. It suits you if you're curious about how the planet works at a fundamental level and want flexibility to pursue either Earth science or physics-based careers. |

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.
