Health & Applied Sciences Program (American University Program)

The list of the world’s Top 100 universities is easily dominated by academic institutions located in the United States. The world’s best universities, including Ivy League institutions like Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton in the US have produced some of the world’s most amazing advances in science, medicine, the arts and more and have trained many of the world’s greatest minds. Many US graduates, thanks to the knowledge and experiences gained in the finest university system in the world have gone on to be leaders of industry and nations. It is no surprise that over one third of the 1.2 million undergraduates studying outside their home countries are furthering their education in the US. With the INTI American University Program (AUP), you will be equipped with the skills, knowledge and exposure you need to maximise your potential and succeed in achieving your dreams.

Get a jumpstart to a future in healthcare. This program offers a wide variety of subjects like dietetics, food, nursing, medical technology, science & nutrition.

The major fields of study in Health & Applied Sciences are:

Medical Technology

Medical Technology involves the study of micro-organisms through the examination of body fluids, tissues, cells, chemical content of fluids, and blood samples.

Neuroscience

This study is a multidisciplinary field that includes psychology, computer science, statistical physics and medicine in the scientific study of the nervous system and its components and functional activities at the molecular, cellular, system, behavioural, and cognitive levels.

Food Science And Nutrition

Nutritional Science is the multidisciplinary study of food and the application of knowledge to the development of food products and processes, the preservation and storage of foods, the assurance of food safety and quality and its effect on metabolism, health, performance and disease resistance of humans and animals, including the study of human behaviours related to foods.

Dietetics

This study involves the planning of food and nutrition, supervising the preparation and serving of meals and also helps prevent and treat illnesses by promoting healthy eating habits, scientifically evaluating clients’ diets and suggesting diet medications.

Nursing

This study focuses on practical applications of nursing that expands into the theoretical realms of patient care.

Nanotechnology

This study is the development of new devices, materials and structures that are well below the 1-micron size scale. The study explores the possibilities of detecting molecules of chemical warfare agents, creating a new generation of computer components or making medical strides on the molecular level.

Astrophysics

This study focuses on the theoretical and observational study of the structure, properties, and behaviour of stars, star systems and clusters, stellar life cycles, and related phenomena. Astrophysicists interpret observational data with laws of physics and mathematics and include areas in cosmology, plasma kinetics, stellar physics, convolution and non-equilibrium radiation transfer theory, non-Euclidean geometries, mathematical modelling, galactic structure theory, and relativistic astronomy.

Forensics

This interdisciplinary study draws from chemistry, biology, agriculture, physics, psychology, and law to apply techniques and principles of the natural and physical sciences to the analysis of evidence collected during criminal investigations. Students learn to perform tests on substances like glass, fibre, tissue, hair and body fluids.
