| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain software applications that run on phones and tablets. This program is more focused on mobile devices than a standard computer science degree, and includes mandatory co-op work terms where you apply your skills in real companies. It suits people who want hands-on experience combining programming with practical problem-solving in the mobile tech industry. | You study how to design and build video games, combining computer science with creative and artistic skills. Unlike a straight computer science degree, this program teaches both the technical coding side and the creative tools and design methods used in game development. It suits people who want to work in the games industry but need solid programming foundations as much as they need artistic or design ability. | 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. |
