What you study	Biotechnology Chemical Engineering General or Integrated Engineering	Agriculture Anthropology Archaeology Astronomy
What it is	You study how to apply engineering and chemistry to solve biological and medical problems, like designing artificial organs, improving drug delivery, or creating medical devices. Unlike a general engineering program, this one focuses specifically on the life sciences side of engineering from the start. The co-op option lets you work terms at hospitals, biotech companies, or medical device manufacturers alongside your courses. This suits you if you're interested in both the technical side of engineering and direct work in healthcare or biotechnology.	This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.
