What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering	Computer Games Computer Science Design Entrepreneurship	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Information Technology Interdisciplinary Studies
What it is	You study how to design, build, and program systems where everyday devices — phones, sensors, machines, appliances — connect and communicate with each other over networks. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside the engineering core, preparing you to lead projects or teams. This program suits people interested in both hardware and software who want hands-on experience through mandatory co-op work terms.	You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.	You study computer science and mathematics together as equally important subjects, rather than taking one as your main focus. This joint honours program lets you combine theoretical math with practical computing skills in ways a single-subject program cannot. It suits students who enjoy both fields and want to understand how mathematics powers computational problem-solving.
