What it isArchitectural 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.Architectural Science is the study of how buildings work technically and functionally—covering structure, systems, materials, and design—rather than architecture as pure art. The co-op option lets you work at real firms alongside your studies, giving you paid work experience in the field. This program suits students who want to understand the practical side of building design and who value hands-on learning in an actual workplace.You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces.
