| What it is | Honours Integrated Science teaches you how different sciences connect and overlap rather than studying them in separate boxes. You'll take courses across biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and environmental studies, learning how they relate to real problems instead of treating each discipline independently. This suits students who want a flexible foundation in science and aren't certain yet which single specialization they'll pursue. | You study the design, analysis, and troubleshooting of electrical systems and equipment, from power generation to circuits and control systems. This program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and industry jobs so you graduate with substantial hands-on experience. It suits students who are strong in math and physics, want to learn by doing, and prefer to earn money while building their professional network. | This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path. |
