| What it is | You study business and computer science together as one integrated degree, learning both how to manage organizations and how to build software systems. Unlike a regular business degree, you gain technical depth in programming, databases, and systems design alongside strategy and finance. This suits students who want to work at the intersection of technology and business — such as roles in software product management, IT strategy, or startup development — and who are comfortable with demanding math and coding coursework. | Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects. | You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing. |
