What it isYou study computer science — writing code, building software, and solving problems with computers — while working in paid job placements throughout your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters of classes and semesters working at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your education. The Management option adds business and organizational courses if you want to move toward leadership roles; the straight Computer Science path suits you if you want to focus purely on technical skills and software development.Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one.
