Overview

Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) - Human Health Science

The Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) program has been designed to meet the needs of undergraduates aspiring to enter a variety of health-related careers or wishing to pursue postgraduate and professional studies.

The Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) is a multi-focused undergraduate degree that enables students to explore diverse aspects of healthcare delivery, health research and promoting human wellness while pursuing studies that build on their particular interests.

This degree is designed to deliver a broad-based curriculum for students to discover exciting areas of impact on human health. 

The program has a strong interdisciplinary focus weaving together physiological, sociological, and epidemiological perspectives on major health issues.

Successful first year students will progress within the specializations: Human Health Science Specialization or Public Health Specialization. 

Each option offers upper-year electives that extend knowledge in core areas while also promoting critical thinking skills related to healthcare and major health issues in Canada.

Graduates are positioned to formulate questions related to human health, address technical and theoretical problems, and excel at analytical thinking.

This specialization focuses on fundamental areas of science as it relates to human health and disease, including anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, cancer biology and microbiology. 

Students will take upper year electives that extend knowledge in these core areas as well as integrating critical knowledge and understanding of the healthcare system in Canada. 

Career opportunities in Human Health Science include Laboratory Research Assistant, Healthcare Laboratory Administration, Government agencies (e.g. quality assurance and biosafety), Business and industry (e.g. pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research or quality assurance).

Students may apply to the Human Health Science specialization at the end of their first year of studies. 

Enrolment in the Human Health Science specialization is limited and admission is competitive. Students who are not successful in gaining a space in this specialization will have the option of pursuing the Public Health specialization.
