What it isYou study how to provide direct patient care, manage medical procedures, and support people through health challenges in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This is a professional program leading to registered nurse credentials, different from general health sciences because it combines classroom learning with supervised clinical placements where you work alongside experienced nurses. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with detailed science and precision in a fast-paced environment.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.This five-year program combines biotechnology and chemical engineering, so you study both how to manipulate living systems at the molecular level and how to design and scale up chemical processes. Unlike a straight biochemistry degree, you learn practical engineering skills for industrial production and apply them through mandatory co-op work terms. It suits students who want to bridge pure science and hands-on problem-solving in fields like pharmaceuticals, food processing, or biofuels.
