What it isYou study advanced topics in emergency medical care and healthcare technology through online, self-paced courses designed for practising paramedics. This program builds on your paramedic diploma and work experience by introducing complementary therapies, health informatics, and medical technology rather than focusing solely on traditional emergency response skills. It suits experienced paramedics who want to deepen their clinical knowledge and explore broader healthcare applications while continuing to work.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.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.
