What it is	Health Sciences is the study of how health systems work, what keeps people healthy, and how to solve health problems using science and technology. Unlike a nursing or medicine program, it does not train you to be a specific licensed practitioner, but instead gives you a broad science foundation that can lead to roles in health policy, public health, or health technology. It suits people interested in the science side of healthcare who want flexibility in their career direction.	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.	A social sciences degree at King's combines the study of people, societies, and human behaviour through subjects like history, politics, economics, psychology, and sociology. You choose a major or specialization within one of these fields — for example, criminology, social work, or economics — and develop deep knowledge in that area while taking supporting courses across the social sciences. This program suits students curious about how societies work, why people act as they do, and what shapes institutions and policy.
