What it isEnergy Engineering teaches you how to design, build, and manage systems that generate, distribute, and use energy efficiently and sustainably. You study thermodynamics, power generation, renewable energy, and electrical systems alongside engineering fundamentals. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into planning or leadership roles, whereas the straight BEng focuses entirely on technical engineering skills. This program suits people who want to solve real problems in energy while building hands-on experience through paid work terms.Physical Sciences is a broad first-year program where you study foundational chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology before choosing a specialization in second year. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in your field. This program suits students who are strong in math and science but not yet certain which specific physical science direction — from astronomy to polymer chemistry — they want to pursue.This program trains you to teach science at the junior and intermediate levels (grades 7–10) while earning a bachelor's degree. You study science subjects like chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics alongside educational theory and classroom practice. It combines your science degree with teacher certification, so you graduate ready to apply for a teaching license, unlike a regular science degree that would require separate teacher training afterward.

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.
