| What it is | A four-year honours degree in pure and applied mathematics, with a focus on both theoretical problem-solving and statistical analysis. Unlike a general math degree, this program runs deeper into advanced theory and proof-based courses. It suits students who enjoy abstract thinking and want to build strong mathematical foundations for graduate study, research, or technical roles in finance, engineering, or data science. | A program where you study pure mathematics and applied statistics together, building strong foundations in both subjects before specializing. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at employers who use these skills. It suits students who enjoy both abstract problem-solving and real-world data analysis, and who want work experience alongside their degree. | Actuarial Science is the study of risk and uncertainty using mathematics, statistics, and business analysis to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other organizations make financial decisions. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, this program focuses on applied problem-solving for real-world financial scenarios. The co-op option lets you work in the field while studying, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. This program suits people who enjoy mathematics and statistics, think logically about complex problems, and want a career with strong technical foundations and professional prospects. |
