What it is	A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	This is a one-year foundation program designed for international students whose secondary education doesn't directly align with Ontario's Grade 12 system. You take introductory courses in subjects like English, math, computer science, psychology, or geography while improving your English language skills, then progress into a regular University of Toronto bachelor's degree. It suits international students who need time to adjust academically and linguistically before starting a standard degree program.
