What it is	Health Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works, disease, and health systems. You'll take courses in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and public health rather than focusing on one specific medical profession. This program suits students interested in health careers — whether that's medicine, nursing, therapy, or public health — who want to explore options before specializing.	You study the engineering behind medical devices and electrical systems that keep people healthy. This combined program blends electrical engineering with biomedical technology, so you learn to design everything from pacemakers to imaging equipment rather than focusing on either field alone. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you hands-on experience in hospitals, device companies, or research labs alongside your classroom learning. It suits people drawn to both electronics and healthcare who want to solve real problems in medicine.	You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.

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.
