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.This program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory.
