What it isComputer Science at Western teaches you how to write programs, build software systems, and solve problems using computers and code. You choose a focus — such as game development, managing information systems, or engineering robust software — based on your interests. The program includes paid work terms alongside your studies, letting you apply classroom learning in real jobs and build professional experience before you graduate.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.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.
