What it is	Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.	Comprehensive Engineering is a four-year engineering degree where you choose a specialization in areas like software, mechanical, electrical, or manufacturing engineering. The BEng&Mgt option pairs your engineering degree with business and management courses, preparing you to lead technical projects or move into management roles. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in engineering fields and are deciding between practical specializations or combining technical expertise with business skills.	You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.
