| What it is | You study engineering and health sciences together, focusing on how biology and chemistry apply to medical devices, treatments, and health problems. Unlike a standard engineering program, you're embedded in health sciences from day one, and you'll do paid work terms in hospitals, biotech companies, or medical device firms. This suits people who want to solve real health challenges through technology but aren't sure yet whether they prefer the engineering or health science side. | You study the science of human movement, exercise, and sport, including anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. This program combines classroom learning in biology and health science with practical experience in labs and applied settings. It suits people interested in careers in athletic therapy, exercise science, sports medicine, or health promotion who want both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement. |
