Professional second-entry programsSecond-entry programs require some years of undergraduate study before you can start. At Western, we offer second-entry undergraduate programs in business, dentistry, law, education and medicine. Read more about these programs on page 13.
The Modular Degree Structure – How does it work?Modules can be combined in the three different types of degrees offered, as shown in the chart. For example, if you are planning to complete a four-year Honours Bachelor Degree, you can do an Honours Specialization in Health Sciences and a Major in Film Studies or a Major in Biochemistry and a Major in Mathematics. There are thousands of possible combinations at Western!
1. An Honours Specialization Module is comprised of 9.0 or more credits and is available only in an Honours Bachelor Degree (4 year).
2. A Specialization Module is comprised of 9.0 or more credits and is available only in the Bachelor Degree (4 year).
3. A Major Module is comprised of 6.0–7.0 credits and is available in all three degree types.
4. A Minor Module is comprised of 4.0–5.0 credits and is available in all three degree types.
You have choices.Explore as much as possible.Arts & Humanities, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Science, Social Science and Media, Information & TechnocultureDuring first year, your courses will be a combination of prerequisites for the program you want and the electives you choose. You can take electives from almost any faculty.
At the end of your first year, choose the program you want to study.
Engineering, Medical Sciences, Music and NursingYou will focus primarily on your field. Though most of your first-year courses will be predetermined, you still have an opportunity to explore within your field throughout the duration of your program and specialize further after your first year.
You have flexibility.Specialize in one area or combine your two passions.Western’s modular degree structure gives you flexibility with your degree. In many cases, you can combine programs from different faculties, schools or departments; or you can focus on a specific subject in greater depth.
A module is a collection of courses (defined by a Faculty or Affiliated University College) in an area of study. The more courses in a module, the higher the level of specialization.
Looking for an academic challenge?Graduate with two degrees at the same time.Concurrent Degrees: Study two major modules at the same time, like Applied Math and Engineering or Kinesiology and Music. Talk with your academic counsellor in first year to explore your options and create a plan.
Combined Degrees: Combine your degree with one of Western’s professional Faculties, like the Ivey Business School, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry or Western Law.
