The modules listed below are designated as best encapsulating the conception of the Health and Environment pathway and are chosen to allow progression to the most number of higher level courses. Whilst every effort has been made to timetable these modules so that there are no clashes between any of them, we cannot guarantee that every combination is 100% clash-free.
Please note: module availability and content may be subject to change.
A list of modules available under the Health and Environment pathway each year can be found below. Please check the module catalogue for any specific subject requirements.
Note: Module titles marked with an asterisk in the final year list below are classified as Level 7 courses. BASc students are able to take these but will need to bear in mind that the pass rate for a Level 7 module is 50%, as opposed to 40% for modules at Levels 4-6. Approval from both your Personal Tutor and the Chair of the UASc UG Exam Board is required to take Level 7 module.
