| What it is | You 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 study how to design and build computer software and systems from the ground up, combining computer science theory with practical engineering problem-solving. This is more applied and hardware-focused than a pure computer science degree, and the co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. It suits people who want hands-on experience in real jobs while learning, and who prefer the structured engineering approach to software development. | You study how to design and plan buildings and spaces within cities, combining architecture, landscape design, and urban planning. Unlike a straight architecture program, this degree emphasizes the relationship between individual structures and the wider urban environment — how buildings fit into neighbourhoods and cities. It suits people who want to design thoughtfully at multiple scales and who are interested in both creative problem-solving and how cities actually work. |
