| What it is | You study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants. | Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — everything from engines to robots to manufacturing equipment. You'll study physics, materials, thermodynamics, and how to turn ideas into working products. This program includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid engineering jobs at real companies, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate. It suits people who like solving practical problems, enjoy math and physics, and want to see their ideas come to life. | You study the engineering and science behind medical devices and body systems — combining electrical, mechanical, and software engineering with biology and biochemistry. Unlike a pure engineering program, this integrated stream embeds health sciences throughout, so you're designing with biological function in mind from day one. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom and paid work terms at hospitals, manufacturers, or research labs. This suits students who want to build real medical technology rather than study engineering or biology alone. |

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.
