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.	An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.	A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.
