What you study	Nursing	Human BiologyNursing	BiotechnologyGeneral or Integrated EngineeringHuman BiologyMolecular Biology, Biochemistry
What it is	You study nursing, learning how to provide direct patient care, manage health conditions, and work within hospital and community health settings. Unlike a general health sciences program, nursing focuses specifically on clinical skills and the theory of caring for people across their lifespan. This program suits people who want hands-on healthcare work and are comfortable with science and human interaction.	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 and health sciences together, focusing on how biology and chemistry apply to medical devices, treatments, and health problems. Unlike a standard engineering program, you're embedded in health sciences from day one, and you'll do paid work terms in hospitals, biotech companies, or medical device firms. This suits people who want to solve real health challenges through technology but aren't sure yet whether they prefer the engineering or health science side.
