What it isYou 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.An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.
