| What it is | 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. | This program teaches you how to protect computer systems and networks from attack and theft. You study computer science fundamentals, artificial intelligence, and software engineering together, learning both how systems work and how to defend them. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies, giving you real-world security experience alongside your degree. | You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing. |
