What it is	Energy 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.	This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.	This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.	You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things.
