What it isThis program lets you study science by mixing chemistry, physics, and other fields rather than focusing on just one. You design your own pathway through courses across multiple disciplines, so you might combine chemistry with environmental science or physics with biology depending on your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore where different sciences connect instead of committing to a single specialization.You study physics and mathematics together as equal subjects rather than choosing one as your major. This combined degree lets you apply mathematical theory directly to physical problems, giving you a deeper understanding of how the two fields connect. The program suits students who are strong in both subjects and want to use advanced math to solve real-world physics questions, whether in research, engineering, or technology.You study computer science — writing code, building software, and solving problems with computers — while working in paid job placements throughout your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters of classes and semesters working at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your education. The Management option adds business and organizational courses if you want to move toward leadership roles; the straight Computer Science path suits you if you want to focus purely on technical skills and software development.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
