What it is	Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.	This program combines mechanical engineering with biomedical applications, so you study how to design and build machines and devices used in medicine and healthcare — from artificial joints to diagnostic equipment. Unlike a straight mechanical engineering degree, you focus on the intersection of mechanics and biology. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare and want to see their work help people directly.	This program combines university-level science study with hands-on paramedic training through a partnership between University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College. You earn both a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a paramedic diploma, preparing you for both advanced emergency response work and further education in health professions. It suits students who want practical clinical skills alongside academic study and plan to work as paramedics or pursue health-related graduate programs.
