| What it is | This program combines software engineering with biomedical systems, so you study both the programming and hardware tools used in medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and health technology. Unlike a standalone software or biomedical engineering program, this integrated approach means you work across both disciplines simultaneously rather than choosing one path. The co-op option lets you gain work experience in healthcare tech or medical device companies during your degree. It suits people drawn to both computing and biology who want to build tools that directly help medicine and patients. | You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path. |

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.
