What it isYou 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.This is a four-year degree in computer science, covering artificial intelligence, software engineering, and core programming concepts. You can choose to add a co-op stream, which means you work semesters at tech companies alongside your studies, building real workplace experience. It suits people who want to learn software development with the option to gain paid industry work experience before graduating.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.
