I really liked the program as it prepared me well for applying to various master programs or professional schools. Secondly, it allows numerous opportunities to work with faculty members on research projects e.g UROP, and Honours projects. Additionally, we are provided with the option of adding a minor from another faculty or specialize in something from our faculty e.g. public health, health technologies, or bioscience.
However, I took off one star as the university did not run a Co-Op program for this degree.

The University offers many resources for research and co-op opportunities and is deeply integrated with the Ottawa General Hospital. The professors are for the most part dedicated and understanding; however, faculty complaints are rarely resolved – especially when regarding professors. The housing accommodations vary; Rideau residence costs almost as much as the all-inclusive on-campus residence with a 10 minute walk to campus, an unsafe location, less amenities and lack of action for student concerns. Other on and off campus residences are for the most part quite pleasant. There is a lot of walking to reach classes on campus, however most buildings are connected and in very short distance of one another. Overall, physical accommodations (especially on campus) are okay, whereas accommodations from the staff and faculty have room for improvement.

This program is really flexible since it allows us to add a minor or an option, there are 120 credits to be earned in this program where 1 class = 3 credits.

This degree focuses on many different aspects of health so it is very interesting for those who enjoy learning new things all the time instead of sticking to one thing. You can take this program in French, English, or both languages.

There are different professors in this faculty, and many of them are mostly researchers. There is a blend of good and not so good professors so once you pick your classes check rate my prof to get results on how the professors are.

I love how interdisciplinary this programme is, I can be learning about health in the environment and anatomy at the same time. Health sciences here at uOttawa is incredibly flexible, where you can fit 10 elective classes in your degree with any class you like in other faculties.

I wish this programme had CO-OP work placements which would help us get a job in the field of health sciences while studying.
