| What it is | You study how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots to aircraft parts. Direct entry means you skip the general first year and go straight into mechanical engineering courses — you don't have to apply again after finishing a foundation year. The program includes a mandatory co-op work term where you spend a semester working in industry. It suits students who know they want mechanical engineering, are strong in math and physics, and want to gain real workplace experience while studying. | You study engineering applied to living systems and medical materials — how to design devices, implants, and materials that work safely inside the human body. Unlike a standard biomedical engineering program, this integrated stream combines materials science throughout, so you learn both the engineering principles and the chemistry of the materials themselves. It suits students drawn to both the biological sciences and engineering problem-solving who want hands-on experience through required co-op terms. |

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.
