| 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. | Applied Health Sciences is a four-year degree that combines study of how the human body works with research into health policy and social factors that affect people's wellbeing. Unlike pure biology or chemistry programs, it focuses on real-world health problems and how systems can be improved to serve communities better. It suits students interested in healthcare careers who want both scientific grounding and understanding of the broader social side of health. | 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. |
