What you study	ArchitectureFacilities ManagementLandscape & Garden Design	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Computer Science Finance	Accounting Business Studies Finance Management Studies
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 computer science and finance together, learning to build software systems and understand money management, accounting, and business strategy. This is different from studying either field alone because you learn how technology and financial systems interact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between school and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in tech or finance companies. This suits people who want both technical skills and business knowledge, and who are ready to commit to the co-op schedule.	Commerce is a broad business degree covering accounting, finance, management, and marketing alongside core business concepts. You'll study how organizations operate financially and strategically across different functions. It suits people who want a flexible business foundation before specializing, rather than committing to accounting or finance alone from day one.
