What it isYou study psychology alongside practical training in areas like human resources, complementary health therapies, and social work. This program pairs an honours bachelor's degree with a diploma credential, giving you both academic psychology knowledge and applied skills in helping professions. It suits people interested in understanding human behaviour who want hands-on experience in workplace, health, or community settings before or alongside their degree.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.Life Sciences is a broad study of how living things work, from individual cells and genetics to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll choose a focus area like microbiology, human biology, genetics, or plant science, and take courses across biology, chemistry, and related fields. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
