| 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. | Informatique is a four-year computer science program taught in French. You study how to design, build, and troubleshoot software and systems, from programming languages to networks and databases. The co-op version lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real job experience alongside your degree; the regular version is full-time study only. | Computer Engineering combines the design and building of computer hardware and software systems. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and how to integrate them into working devices — going deeper into the physical and mathematical foundations than a pure computer science program. This admission stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and paid engineering jobs in industry. |
