When you say health science, this is the type of science that is geared towards those that are in health care. There are a lot of people who would like to get professions that are in the medical field and they will benefit a lot from learning more about health science. Those who are interested in health will also find this very helpful.

Life science, on the other hand, will be composed of the different types of sciences that are related to some non−applied sciences. For example, some sciences like biology, botany, zoology, physiology, pathobiology, and so much more will all be under life science. Health science is actually a branch of life science.

You may not be making any mistake at all if you assume health science and life science are the same since both deal with the study of living organisms. However, health science is seen mostly as a subset or a branch of life science, meaning life science would be a broader field of learning compared to health science.

Life science refers to the study of anything about living organisms. This includes the study of everything that pertains to humans, animals, and plants. Life sciences strive to learn about all the functions of human beings, animals, and plants.

It also encompasses the study of some non-applied courses such as organic chemistry, zoology, biochemistry, physiology, botany, etc. On the other hand, health science is a field restricted to the study of human beings, animals, and their functions. Health science is the study of anything that pertains to the health care of human beings.
