| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. Civil engineering differs from architecture because you focus on the structural and technical side — materials, safety, and how things work — rather than aesthetics and design. This program includes a co-op work term, so you'll get hands-on experience at engineering firms or construction sites alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy math and physics, like solving practical problems, and want to build things that serve communities. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one. |

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.
