| What it is | Cognitive science studies how the mind works by combining insights from psychology, biology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. This non-honours version gives you a broader survey of these fields rather than the deeper specialization of an honours degree, so you spend less time on advanced research methods and theory. It suits students curious about how thinking, language, and brain function connect, who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines without committing to one. | 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. |

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.
