| What it is | Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights from large datasets using statistics, programming, and artificial intelligence techniques. Unlike a pure statistics or computer science program, it combines all three fields to prepare you for roles where you analyze real business and research problems. It suits people who enjoy math and coding and want to work with data across many industries. | Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts. | Computing at Queen's covers the theory and practice of building software, managing information systems, and developing artificial intelligence. You'll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics that underpin these fields. The program includes a co-op option, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, which sets it apart from a standard degree and gives you real industry experience alongside your studies. It suits people who like solving problems with code and want hands-on exposure to how software gets built in actual workplaces. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
