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.	You study both music and computer science as a full double degree, earning separate BA and BSc credentials in five years instead of doing them sequentially. This combines technical programming and software skills with music theory, performance, composition, or musicology depending on your choices. It suits people who are genuinely strong in both fields and want depth in each rather than a minor, and who have the stamina for a demanding combined workload.
