What you study	Mathematics Statistics	Mathematics Statistics	Mathematics Statistics
What it is	You study pure mathematics and statistics — how numbers, patterns, and data work at a theoretical level and in real applications. The Bachelor of Science version includes lab-based sciences alongside the math, while the Arts version focuses on math and statistics alone. This program suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want to build strong analytical skills, whether for advanced study, data analysis, or fields that depend on mathematical reasoning.	A four-year honours degree in pure and applied mathematics, with a focus on both theoretical problem-solving and statistical analysis. Unlike a general math degree, this program runs deeper into advanced theory and proof-based courses. It suits students who enjoy abstract thinking and want to build strong mathematical foundations for graduate study, research, or technical roles in finance, engineering, or data science.	Statistique is a four-year degree in mathematics and statistics, where you learn to collect, analyze, and interpret data using mathematical methods. Unlike a pure math program, you focus heavily on real-world applications of statistics in fields like business, science, and public health. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements, which suits students who want practical experience alongside theory.
