What it isYou study how to use radiation safely and effectively to diagnose and treat disease, combining physics, biology, and medical technology. This program includes training in imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans, as well as cancer treatment using radiation. It suits students who want hands-on work in healthcare, are comfortable with science and math, and are drawn to a clinical role rather than pure research.Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields.
