What it is	You study the engineering behind medical devices and electrical systems that keep people healthy. This combined program blends electrical engineering with biomedical technology, so you learn to design everything from pacemakers to imaging equipment rather than focusing on either field alone. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you hands-on experience in hospitals, device companies, or research labs alongside your classroom learning. It suits people drawn to both electronics and healthcare who want to solve real problems in medicine.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.	Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.
