| What it is | Computer Engineering combines the design and building of computer hardware and software systems. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and how to integrate them into working devices — going deeper into the physical and mathematical foundations than a pure computer science program. This admission stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and paid engineering jobs in industry. | Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces. |

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.
