What you study	Computer Science	Computer Science
What it is	You study the theory and practice of computer programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development. This program lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience while you learn. It suits people who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are comfortable juggling work and study schedules.	Data science combines statistics, programming, and practical problem-solving to extract useful information from large sets of data. You'll learn to write code, build mathematical models, and communicate what the data reveals to non-technical people. This program suits students who enjoy both math and computer science and want to apply technical skills to real-world questions across business, health, science, and other fields.

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.

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.
