What it isYou study how to report news, investigate stories, and communicate through written and digital media. Unlike a general media or communications program, journalism focuses specifically on gathering facts, interviewing sources, and producing news for publication. This program suits people who want to understand how information reaches the public and who are curious about current events and storytelling.Health Sciences is the study of how health systems work, what keeps people healthy, and how to solve health problems using science and technology. Unlike a nursing or medicine program, it does not train you to be a specific licensed practitioner, but instead gives you a broad science foundation that can lead to roles in health policy, public health, or health technology. It suits people interested in the science side of healthcare who want flexibility in their career direction.
