| 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. | This combined five-year program starts with a bachelor's degree in physical activity science — the study of how the human body moves, exercises, and stays healthy — then transitions into a master's degree in occupational therapy. Unlike a standard bachelor's program, you're admitted directly into both degrees at once, so you progress through coursework designed to build from exercise science foundations into clinical therapy training. It suits students interested in helping people regain physical function and independence through movement and activity-based rehabilitation. | You study how the human body moves, functions, and performs during exercise and sport, combining biology with practical movement science. This program pairs a kinesiology degree with an international exchange or partnership component, giving you study or work experience outside Canada alongside your core training. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, or fitness who want global perspective and cross-cultural experience alongside hands-on study of human performance. |
