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 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.This program teaches you how health systems actually work — covering everything from how hospitals are run and data is managed to the policies that shape who gets care and how. Unlike pure health science programs, you'll focus on the business, technology, and policy side of medicine rather than clinical practice. It suits people interested in health but drawn to organization, technology, or social systems more than direct patient care.
