Therefore, applicants should not use a subsequent application choice to apply to their subject of major interest separately.

What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Nursing combines biology, chemistry, and hands-on clinical training to prepare you for direct patient care and health advocacy. It suits people who want to help others through practical medical work and who can handle high-pressure situations with focus and compassion.	You study to become a high school teacher in health or a related subject, while simultaneously earning a degree in that subject itself. Instead of finishing one degree and then teacher training separately, you do both at the same time over four years. This program suits students who know they want to teach health, science, or a similar field and want to combine their subject expertise with teaching credentials from the start.	You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction.
