What it is	This program teaches you how to create and manage digital media and entertainment projects, from concept to launch. You'll study storytelling, design, production, and the business and legal sides of creative industries. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work placements, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree.	You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.

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.
