What you study	ArchitectureFacilities ManagementLandscape & Garden Design	Aerospace EngineeringGeneral or Integrated Engineering	Architecture
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.	Engineering at Royal Military College combines technical training in fields like aerospace or general engineering with military officer development. Unlike civilian engineering programs, you study while training to become a Canadian Armed Forces officer, which shapes your curriculum and involves a service commitment after graduation. This suits students who want an engineering education paired with military leadership training and are prepared for that longer-term obligation.	Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.
