What it is	An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.	You study the mathematical and economic theory behind financial markets, investments, and economic systems. This combines rigorous mathematics with economics and finance, giving you tools to analyze real-world economic problems and financial instruments. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with employers, building practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people who want depth in quantitative analysis and enjoy connecting abstract math to how money and economies actually work.	You study how to extract useful insights from large datasets using statistics, mathematics, and programming tools. This program combines theory in statistics and economics with practical data analysis skills. Co-op placement is optional, letting you gain real workplace experience analyzing data while you study. It suits people who enjoy both the maths behind data and solving real business problems.
