| What it is | You study how to explain Earth and environmental science to the public through writing, video, podcasts, and other media. Unlike a straight science degree, you combine scientific knowledge with communication skills so you can translate complex topics for non-specialists. This program suits people who care about environmental issues and want to help others understand them, rather than pursue pure research or journalism alone. | You study how to design and build solutions to environmental problems using engineering tools and methods. This program combines traditional engineering disciplines like civil and mining with environmental science, so you learn both the technical skills and the ecological knowledge needed to tackle issues like water quality, land use, and resource extraction. It suits people who want to solve real-world environmental challenges through hands-on engineering work rather than pure science or policy analysis, and the built-in co-op terms let you test that fit in actual workplaces. | You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements. |

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.
