What you study—Animal ScienceAstronomyBiological SciencesChemistry
What it isYou study the science and skills of patient care, learning anatomy, pharmacology, and hands-on clinical practice to become a registered nurse. Unlike general science programs, nursing is direct-entry and includes mandatory clinical placements in hospitals and healthcare settings starting early. It suits people who want to combine science knowledge with direct patient interaction and are ready for the responsibility that comes with healthcare work.This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.
