What it is	You study how to teach English or French as a second language to students who don't speak it natively. The program combines education theory with deep study of the language itself, so you learn both teaching methods and the grammar and culture behind the language. This suits people who want to teach languages in schools and understand both how languages work and how people learn them.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.

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.
