What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Mechanical Engineering	Computer Games Computer Science Design Entrepreneurship	Cinematics & Photography Computer Animation and Visual Effects Computer Games Design
What it is	You study the design, building, and testing of cars and other vehicles, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on automotive know-how. Unlike a general mechanical engineering program, this focuses specifically on vehicle systems like engines, transmissions, and chassis. The co-op requirement means you work semesters in automotive companies alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who want engineering depth but prefer learning through real projects and industry experience rather than pure theory.	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.	You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.
