What it is	Midwifery is a healthcare program focused on supporting pregnant people through pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period. Midwives provide hands-on clinical care and work as autonomous practitioners, distinct from nurses or physicians who follow different training paths. The program suits people drawn to direct patient care, maternity health, and community-based medicine who want specialized knowledge in childbirth and women's health.	You study physical sciences — chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental topics — with a focus on how they connect to human health and the living world. This stream emphasizes the intersection between earth and life sciences rather than pure physics or chemistry alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at relevant employers alongside your degree. It suits students interested in environmental health, toxicology, or science careers that bridge the natural world and wellness.	Physical Sciences is a broad first-year program where you study foundational chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology before choosing a specialization in second year. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in your field. This program suits students who are strong in math and science but not yet certain which specific physical science direction — from astronomy to polymer chemistry — they want to pursue.
