What it is	Data Science focuses on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting large amounts of data to solve real-world problems using statistics, mathematics, and computer programming. 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.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences.
