What you studyChemistryGeneral or Integrated EngineeringSoftware EngineeringChemistry
What it isBiochemistry is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology to understand how life works at a molecular level. This co-op program includes work terms where you apply what you are learning in paid jobs with employers, giving you real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want a science degree with both theory and hands-on professional experience, and who are interested in how molecules, reactions, and life interconnect.Internet of Things is a program where you learn to design and program connected devices and systems that collect and share data — like sensors, smart home equipment, or industrial monitoring tools. You study both the hardware engineering and software needed to make these systems work together. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience before you graduate; the Management stream adds business and leadership courses if you want a path toward supervising teams or projects.You study the structure and behaviour of atoms, molecules, and reactions: how substances interact, break down, and transform. Unlike a general science degree, this is a focused program in chemistry alone, and includes a mandatory co-op term where you work in a lab or industry setting. It suits students who enjoy hands-on lab work and want practical experience alongside theory before entering chemistry, materials, or pharmaceutical careers.

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.
