| What it is | This program teaches you how social systems, policy, and technology shape health outcomes. You'll study both how societies organize healthcare and how digital tools collect and use health data to inform decisions. It suits people interested in the intersection of public health, policy work, and health information systems rather than clinical patient care. | Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems, electronics, and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll study how motors, sensors, and software work together in everything from robots to medical equipment. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. | 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. |
