What it isYou study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.This program teaches you applied engineering and IT skills together, focusing on how to design, build, and manage digital systems and software in real-world settings. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances hands-on technical work with engineering principles. It suits students who want practical technical training and are comfortable mixing math-heavy coursework with project-based learning.
