Description:

Health Science is a two-year pre-university profile that prepares students for entry to university in the medical and life sciences as well as biotechnology. The profile provides a solid grounding in mathematics and physics and the opportunity for in-depth study of chemistry and biology. From Health Science, students can pursue a Bachelor’s degree in such fields as biology, biochemistry, physiology, ecology and in professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, nursing and physiotherapy.

Among the skills you will develop are: approaching problem-solving in a systematic way, applying the experimental method, using data-processing technology and electronic forms of communication, using computerized data-acquisition systems, identifying the context in which scientific ideas originated and evolved, and using the basic vocabulary of the sciences in French.
