What you study	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Information Systems Interdisciplinary Studies	Biotechnology Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies
What it is	You study music composition, theory, and performance alongside computer science and programming, earning both a BA and BSc over five years. Unlike separate music and computer science degrees, this combines them so you apply computing tools to music creation and analysis. It suits students drawn to both fields equally who want deeper technical skills in each rather than choosing one.	You study how mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously.

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.
