| What it is | You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path. | You study business and law together in one integrated six-year program instead of pursuing them separately. You earn qualifications in both commercial sciences and law (Juris Doctor), which means you graduate ready to work in business law, corporate strategy, or general legal practice without taking law school as a separate step afterward. This suits people drawn to both business management and the legal system who want a faster path to combining those fields professionally. | You study computer science and finance together, learning to build software systems and understand money management, accounting, and business strategy. This is different from studying either field alone because you learn how technology and financial systems interact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between school and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in tech or finance companies. This suits people who want both technical skills and business knowledge, and who are ready to commit to the co-op schedule. |
