What you study	Computer Games Computer Science Software Engineering	Business Studies Information Technology Management Management Studies	Artificial Intelligence Computer Science
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 business fundamentals, entrepreneurship, and management with a focus on starting and running your own company. This program includes paid work terms built into your degree, alternating between classroom and real business placements where you apply what you're learning. It suits students who want to understand business from the ground up and prefer learning through hands-on experience alongside their coursework.	Artificial Intelligence is the study of how to design computer systems that can learn, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal human instruction. This program embeds four paid work terms throughout your degree, alternating with school terms, so you gain industry experience while learning theory. It suits students who want hands-on experience alongside rigorous training in machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent systems, and who are ready to balance classroom study with workplace responsibilities.
