Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Health Science degree is a 124-credit program that allows students to examine health and disease in human communities from various perspectives. Students obtain foundational knowledge in the basic sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and practical knowledge in clinical, public, and population health to understand current health issues and the common approaches used to advance health and wellness. The BSc in Health Science (Honours) degree requires students to conduct original research in an area of health science. Students pursuing this path will gain hands-on research experience by designing and carrying-out a research project under the supervision of a KPU faculty member with expertise relating to the topic.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This programme's Admission Requirements section states that the Faculty's Admission Requirements apply in full, with no course, grade or portfolio condition of its own: entry is governed entirely by KPU's undergraduate English Proficiency Requirement, published on the university's own admissions page. That standard is met by BC English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12 or Literary Studies 12 at C+ or better (or an equivalent IB, AP or Adult Dogwood result); by 3 credits of post-secondary English at C- or better, or a completed diploma/degree or 60 credits at a 2.0 CGPA, from an institution that teaches in English; by specified KPU English courses; or by a standardized test taken within the last two years — IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band under 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section under 20, PTE 61, or Duolingo 110.
Application Details
Start Date:The University Calendar lists this programme with Fall (September), Spring (January) and Summer (May) starts, the full three-term cycle KPU runs. Under the Senate-approved 2026-27 schedule Fall runs 8 September to 17 December 2026, Spring 6 January to 28 April 2027 and Summer 10 May to 24 August 2027.
Application Deadline:KPU classifies this as an Open Intake programme, which means every applicant who meets the minimum institutional requirements is admitted and applications are not ranked against each other. The University Calendar lists this programme with Fall (September), Spring (January) and Summer (May) starts, so all three of KPU's Open Intake windows apply to it. FALL (SEPTEMBER) INTAKE: applications open on 1 October of the previous year and the final application deadline is 1 July, so the Fall 2027 window runs 1 October 2026 to 1 July 2027. Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) start receiving offers in November and must accept and pay the confirmation deposit by 15 June. International applicants share the same window, and KPU accepts no application at all after 1 July; their offer and deposit dates are set out in the offer letter. SPRING (JANUARY) INTAKE: applications open 1 February and close 1 November - for Spring 2027 that closing date is 1 November 2026 - with the domestic deposit due 15 October. SUMMER (MAY) INTAKE: applications open 1 June and close 1 March, with the domestic deposit due 15 February. Applications open at 00:00 and close at 23:59 Pacific time. Both applicant types apply through EducationPlannerBC at apply.educationplannerbc.ca/kpu; the non-refundable application fee is CAD 40 for domestic applicants and CAD 120 for international applicants, and the confirmation deposit for an Open Intake offer is CAD 250 domestic or CAD 5,000 international. Popular classes fill early, so accepting after the deposit date can leave you without the sections you wanted.
