What it is	You study nursing from day one, learning how to care for patients across different healthcare settings, combining classroom learning with supervised clinical practice. Direct entry means you enter the nursing program straight away rather than completing a general first year, so you start specialized courses immediately. This suits people who are confident about choosing nursing and want to focus entirely on building clinical and theoretical nursing skills.	You study the biology and chemistry of human bodies and disease, focusing on how cells, tissues, and organs work at a molecular level. This program is more lab and research-intensive than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in medical research, diagnostics, or graduate studies in medicine or health sciences. It suits students who are curious about how the human body functions and want hands-on experience in scientific investigation before deciding on a health-care or research path.	This program lets you earn both a kinesiology degree and a teaching certificate in four years instead of five. You study human movement, exercise science, and nutrition alongside education theory and teaching methods, preparing you to teach high school physical education. It suits students who want to combine their interest in sport and exercise science with a career in secondary education.
