| What it is | Water Science combines biology, chemistry, physics, and geography to study how water systems work and how to protect them. You'll examine lakes, rivers, and groundwater from ecological and physical angles rather than focusing only on engineering solutions. This program suits students interested in environmental problems who want a science-based approach grounded in both living systems and earth processes. | Biochimie is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology at the molecular level. You'll learn how proteins, enzymes, and other molecules work together to keep cells alive. This program includes a co-op work placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in labs or biotech companies, and it's taught in French. | This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
