| 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 a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about. | 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. |
