| What it is | A BComp General program teaches you the core theory and practice of building software and computer systems. Unlike specialized streams, this version lets you choose your own focus area — whether that's artificial intelligence, games, web development, or something else — rather than following a set path. It suits students who want solid computer science foundations and the freedom to explore different applications before committing to a specific specialization. | You study how to design, build, and test software systems that solve real problems — the programs and apps that run on computers and devices. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between study terms and paid work terms at software companies, giving you workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine coding and problem-solving skills with practical industry experience before graduating. |

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.
