What it is	You study the science and engineering of nuclear power generation, reactor design, radiation safety, and fuel cycles. The BEng&Mgt version adds business and management coursework so you can move into supervisory or project roles, whereas the standard BEng focuses purely on the technical side. This program suits people drawn to large-scale energy problems who are comfortable with advanced math and physics and want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.	Water Science combines biology, chemistry, physics, and geography to study how water systems work and how to protect them. You'll examine lakes, rivers, and groundwater from ecological and physical angles rather than focusing only on engineering solutions. This program suits students interested in environmental problems who want a science-based approach grounded in both living systems and earth processes.	Environmental Management teaches you how to assess and solve real-world environmental problems — like water quality, habitat loss, and land use — by combining biology, geology, geography, and forestry. Unlike a pure science degree, it focuses on the practical side: working with communities, governments, and organizations to manage natural resources and protect ecosystems. It suits students who want hands-on environmental work and are willing to take co-op placements where you'll apply what you learn on actual projects.

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.
