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 pages 43-49.

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 Honors Bachelor Degree, you can do an Honors 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 Honors Specialization Module is comprised of 9.0 or more credits and is available only in an Honors 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.Programs within Arts & Humanities, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Science, Social Science or Media, Information & Technoculture

During the 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, Nursing

You 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 instead of one.

Concurrent Degrees: Study two major modules at the same time, like Applied Math and Engineering, or Kinesiology and Music.

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.

See what’s available in your faculty on pages 6-41.

Meet AndreaBA’17, Faculty of Social Science, current Master’s student in Women’s Studies

Andrea recently completed an international internship working with a community partner in East Africa. “Going on a Western Heads East internship to Mwanza, Tanzania was a key experience that has shaped who I am. I collaborated with incredible people and gained skills that allowed me to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom, all while working towards a cause I believe in. Engaging in intercultural learning during my experience in Tanzania and while at Western allowed me to achieve the Global and Intercultural Engagement Honor. Pursuing the Honor gave me a more holistic view of international learning, and as a graduate of International Relations, internationalizing my degree helped me gain perspective and adaptable skills that I’ll have moving forward.”

Engineering student bats in entrepreneurship gameThird-year Western Engineering student Mitchell Godkin is hoping to hit a homerun with his latest entrepreneurial endeavour, Leadbury Bat Co., a premium baseball bat manufacturing company. Using technical knowledge he gained during an engineering co-op at Nostalgic Wood, and then conducting some testing in the General Dynamics Lab at Western Engineering, Mitchell has designed a bat that has 20 per cent more strength and 30 per cent more flex than standard baseball bats.
