| What it is | You study the science and practice of patient care, learning anatomy, pharmacology, clinical skills, and how to work in hospitals and community settings. This is a direct-entry nursing program, so you begin specialized nursing coursework right away rather than taking a general first year. It suits people who are confident they want to become a registered nurse and are ready to commit to a focused program from day one. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | Social Science is the study of how societies work: economics, history, politics, psychology, and international development. You choose which subjects to focus on and how to combine them, rather than following a single fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and global problems who want flexibility to explore multiple angles rather than specializing early. |
