Undergraduate programs
Our undergraduate students learn the principles of their disciplines by attending courses taught by our world-renowned faculty and gain real-world experience working with companies and organizations related to their fields of interest.
The programs consist of four years of coursework during which time the students complete 600 hours of practical training. Many students choose to spend an additional year taking part in the optional Professional Experience Year program, usually between their third and fourth years of study. Graduates of our undergraduate programs receive a Bachelor of Applied Science degree.
