| What it is | You study how to design, build, and test software systems — the programs and applications that run on computers and devices. Unlike a pure Computer Science degree, this program focuses on practical engineering: how software is actually built for real-world use, with emphasis on planning, teamwork, and quality. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies, giving you experience before graduation. This suits people who want hands-on technical skills, prefer learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work placements alongside coursework. | You study how mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously. |
