| 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. | Environmental Engineering combines math, chemistry, physics, and biology to solve real-world problems like water treatment, air quality, and waste management. Unlike a pure science degree, you learn engineering design and practical problem-solving alongside the science fundamentals. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you gain industry experience while studying. This suits students who want to apply science to environmental challenges and prefer hands-on learning alongside classroom work. | You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements. |

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.
