What it is	You 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.	An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.
