What it is	You study how to protect computer networks and systems from cyberattacks and security threats. The program combines practical networking skills with specialized knowledge in security protocols, encryption, and threat detection. It suits students who want technical IT work focused specifically on defending data and infrastructure rather than general software development or systems administration.	You study computer science — programming, algorithms, data structures, software design, and related computing theory — on a schedule that lets you work or manage other commitments at the same time. Part-time means you take fewer courses per term and spread your degree over a longer period than full-time students. This suits people who need to balance education with work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.	This program teaches you to design and build complex systems by combining computer science, engineering, and design thinking. Unlike a traditional engineering degree, it emphasizes creative problem-solving and working across different disciplines rather than specializing in one field. It suits students who want to develop technology solutions but enjoy visual design and teamwork as much as technical coding.

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.
