| What it is | You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters. | Computer Science is a four-year degree covering the design, development, and theory behind software and computer systems, with options to specialize in artificial intelligence or software engineering. The co-op stream lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This program suits students who enjoy problem-solving and coding, and who want to build professional experience before graduating. | You study both civil engineering and computer science in one five-year program, combining the design of infrastructure like bridges and buildings with software and programming skills. Unlike separate degrees in each field, this double program integrates both disciplines so you learn how they apply together in modern construction and engineering projects. It suits students who want broad technical skills and are willing to commit five years to gain expertise across two engineering areas. |

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.
