| What it is | You study how to design and build software and computer systems, with options to specialize in game development. The co-op requirement means you complete paid work terms at tech companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before graduation. This program suits students who want hands-on technical training and the chance to build a professional network early in their degree. | You study how to design and build video games using programming and computer science principles. Unlike a general computer science degree, this program focuses specifically on game development, covering topics like graphics, game engines, physics, and interactive design. It suits students who want to code but are drawn to games as their field, and includes work experience terms with game studios or tech companies. |
