| What it is | You 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 program teaches you the science behind how the human body works, how diseases develop, and how medicines treat them. You study human biology, pharmacology, and related medical sciences rather than practising medicine itself. The co-op version includes mandatory work terms at healthcare or research organizations alongside your coursework, letting you test whether this field suits you before committing to further training. | One Health is the study of how human health, animal health, and the environment are connected, drawing on biology, genetics, microbiology, and veterinary science. Unlike traditional biology or health science programs, it teaches you to see disease and wellness across all three systems rather than in isolation. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work placements. This suits people interested in public health, disease prevention, food safety, or environmental health who want hands-on experience before graduation. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. |
