| What it is | This program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory. | Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care. | 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. | This program combines biology, chemistry, and psychology to explore how living systems work at both the molecular and mental levels. You'll study everything from cellular and genetic processes to brain function and behaviour, with the option to gain work experience through co-op placements. It suits students interested in medicine, neuroscience, pharmaceutical research, or any field that bridges the physical and behavioural sciences. |
