What you studyNursingHuman BiologySport & Exercise ScienceHuman BiologySport & Exercise Science
What it isYou 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 human movement, exercise science, and how the body responds to physical activity, then transition directly into specialized training in physiotherapy — hands-on treatment of injuries and movement disorders. This five-year combined program lets you earn both a bachelor's and master's degree without applying separately, and it leads to eligibility for physiotherapy licensing. It suits students drawn to science-based healthcare who want to work hands-on with patients recovering from injury or managing physical disabilities.
