The BSc&Mgt variant adds business courses alongside the technical ones, preparing you for leadership roles in data-driven organizations. This program suits people who enjoy both math and computers, want hands-on problem-solving skills, and appreciate learning how to turn raw data into decisions.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
