What it isA program in which you study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. The BCS degree focuses more on the theory and mathematics behind computing, while the BA allows you to combine computer science with other subjects. Both paths prepare you for software development, systems design, or related technical roles, and include paid work terms through co-op so you gain real experience while studying.Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.
