What you study	Nursing	Artificial Intelligence Computer Games Computer Science Health Informatics	Artificial Intelligence Computer Science Entrepreneurship Information Systems
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 design, development, and theory behind computer software and systems. In the co-op stream, you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to build real-world coding skills early and explore whether they prefer software development, artificial intelligence, games, or other computing specializations while earning money.	You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.
