What it isYou study the engineering principles behind medical devices and equipment, combining mechanical engineering with biology and healthcare applications. Unlike pure mechanical engineering, this program integrates biomedical sciences so you design systems that work inside or on the human body. It suits students interested in engineering who also want to apply their skills directly to medicine and health technology, with mandatory paid work terms built into the degree.Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care.This program combines university-level science study with hands-on paramedic training through a partnership between University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College. You earn both a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a paramedic diploma, preparing you for both advanced emergency response work and further education in health professions. It suits students who want practical clinical skills alongside academic study and plan to work as paramedics or pursue health-related graduate programs.
