What it isHealth Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works and what affects health and disease. You'll take courses in biology, chemistry, and related subjects, with options to specialize as you progress. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or health organizations, giving you real experience before graduation. This program suits students interested in understanding health from a scientific angle, whether or not they're certain about medicine or a specific health career yet.Health Sciences is a broad program combining study of how health systems work, the use of technology and data in healthcare, and social policy that shapes health outcomes. It differs from biology or medicine by focusing on the bigger picture of health delivery and policy rather than pure life sciences or direct clinical training. It suits students interested in healthcare careers beyond clinical practice, like health administration, public health, or health technology roles.
