| 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. | You study the theory and practice of computer programming, software design, and how to build applications and systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine hands-on coding skills with an understanding of how software works in actual business and technology settings. |
