| What it is | You study electrical engineering with a focus on making power systems more environmentally friendly, learning how to design and manage electricity generation, distribution, and use with sustainability in mind. Unlike a standard electrical engineering program, this one emphasizes renewable energy sources and reducing environmental impact from the start. It suits students who want to solve real engineering problems while caring about climate and ecological concerns. | 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. | This program combines arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market. |
