| 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 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.
