| What it is | You study both chemical engineering — how to design and optimize chemical processes and manufacturing at industrial scale — and computer science, learning to build software and computational systems. The five-year structure and mandatory co-op terms give you paid work experience alongside your degree, letting you apply both skillsets in real industrial settings. This suits students who want to bridge chemistry and coding rather than choose one, and who value hands-on experience while earning. | You study how to design and plan buildings and structures, learning both the creative design side and the technical skills needed to make buildings work safely and function well. This program requires you to do paid work terms at architecture firms throughout your degree, alternating with school semesters, so you graduate with real professional experience. It suits people who want hands-on learning alongside theory and are ready to balance intensive coursework with workplace responsibility. |

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.
