| What it is | Biomedical Science is the study of how the human body works at a chemical and cellular level, combining chemistry, biology, and medical science. The BSc&Mgt version adds business and management courses alongside the science, preparing you for roles that involve both technical and leadership responsibilities. This program includes mandatory work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid jobs in hospitals, research labs, or biotech companies. It suits people interested in health-related careers who want hands-on industry experience before graduating. | 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. | Bio-Medical Science is a science degree focused on the human body and disease at the cellular and molecular level, bridging biology and medicine. It goes deeper into medical concepts than a straight biology program, preparing you for health-related careers or further study in medicine, dentistry, or graduate research. This program suits students who want a rigorous science foundation and are interested in how the body works at a detailed level. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. |
