What you study	Chemical Engineering Environmental Studies General or Integrated Engineering Management	Anthropology Economics English Studies Fine Art	English Studies History Human Geography Interdisciplinary Studies
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.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
