| What it is | This four-year program trains you to become a registered nurse by teaching anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside theory about patient care and health systems. Unlike a college nursing diploma, this university degree emphasizes evidence-based research and independent thinking, preparing you for leadership roles in hospitals, clinics, or specialized nursing fields. It suits people who want a healthcare career rooted in science and are comfortable with both lab work and direct patient interaction. | You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. | You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development. |
