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.	You study physics and mathematics together as equal subjects rather than choosing one as your major. This combined degree lets you apply mathematical theory directly to physical problems, giving you a deeper understanding of how the two fields connect. The program suits students who are strong in both subjects and want to use advanced math to solve real-world physics questions, whether in research, engineering, or technology.	You study how to use mathematics and statistics to solve real-world problems in engineering, science, and business. Unlike a pure mathematics program, applied mathematics focuses on practical applications rather than abstract theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with employers, giving you experience in the field while you study. This program suits people who like math but want to see how it actually gets used.
