What it is	Nursing is a hands-on health care program where you learn to assess patients, administer treatment, and provide direct care under supervision. You'll study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and nursing theory alongside clinical placements in hospitals and community settings. This program suits people who want to make a direct difference in patient care and are comfortable with science coursework and shift-based work.	This program combines university-level science study with hands-on paramedic training through a partnership between University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College. You earn both a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a paramedic diploma, preparing you for both advanced emergency response work and further education in health professions. It suits students who want practical clinical skills alongside academic study and plan to work as paramedics or pursue health-related graduate programs.	You study the biology and chemistry of human bodies and disease, focusing on how cells, tissues, and organs work at a molecular level. This program is more lab and research-intensive than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in medical research, diagnostics, or graduate studies in medicine or health sciences. It suits students who are curious about how the human body functions and want hands-on experience in scientific investigation before deciding on a health-care or research path.
