| 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. | You study how Earth's climate and environment work, using chemistry, physics, and geography to understand weather systems, ecosystems, and human impacts. This program combines natural science with social geography, so you examine both the physical causes of environmental change and how people and communities respond to it. It suits students curious about climate science who want hands-on experience through co-op placements alongside their coursework. | This program combines environmental science, geography, and business thinking to explore how people use and sustain natural resources. Unlike a pure environmental science degree, it emphasizes the economic and entrepreneurial side of solving environmental problems, and includes mandatory work terms where you apply what you learn in real jobs. It suits people who care about the environment but want practical business and policy skills alongside scientific understanding. |

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.
