What it isYou study mathematics with applications to science and engineering problems — pure math combined with practical problem-solving in physics, chemistry, and biology. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses, giving you both technical and organizational skills. The program includes mandatory co-op terms, so you work in industry alongside your studies, gaining real experience in research labs, tech companies, or engineering firms. This suits people who want deep mathematical skills but also want to see how those skills apply to actual scientific and technical work.An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.
