What you study	Human BiologyNursing	General or Integrated EngineeringMolecular Biology, BiochemistryPhysics
What it is	You study how to become a registered nurse, learning anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills through classroom and hospital placements. This four-year program combines theory with hands-on patient care experience, preparing you to write the licensing exam and work in hospitals, clinics, or community health settings. It suits people who want direct healthcare practice and can commit to shift work and emotionally demanding environments.	You study engineering fundamentals combined with physics and biomedical science, learning to design and build medical devices and systems. Unlike a straight biomedical engineering program, you get deeper training in physics theory and engineering principles first. This suits students interested in the technical side of healthcare innovation who want a strong grounding in both physics and biology before specializing.
