What you study	Civil Engineering Computer Science Interdisciplinary Studies	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Information Technology Interdisciplinary Studies	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Information Technology
What it is	You study both civil engineering and computer science together over five years, combining infrastructure design and construction with software and computing systems. Unlike a regular civil engineering program, you integrate computing skills throughout and complete mandatory workplace terms, alternating study and paid work. This suits students interested in how technology shapes modern infrastructure projects and who want practical work experience built into their degree.	You study computer science and mathematics together as equally important subjects, rather than taking one as your main focus. This joint honours program lets you combine theoretical math with practical computing skills in ways a single-subject program cannot. It suits students who enjoy both fields and want to understand how mathematics powers computational problem-solving.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. This program covers programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. If you choose the co-op stream, you'll alternate between studying and working at tech companies, giving you real professional experience alongside your degree.

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.
