| What it is | You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas. | You study both chemical engineering — how to design and optimize chemical processes and manufacturing at industrial scale — and computer science, learning to build software and computational systems. The five-year structure and mandatory co-op terms give you paid work experience alongside your degree, letting you apply both skillsets in real industrial settings. This suits students who want to bridge chemistry and coding rather than choose one, and who value hands-on experience while earning. | This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies. |
