What it is	This program lets you study science by mixing chemistry, physics, and other fields rather than focusing on just one. You design your own pathway through courses across multiple disciplines, so you might combine chemistry with environmental science or physics with biology depending on your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore where different sciences connect instead of committing to a single specialization.	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.	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.
