What it isA 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.An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.You study computer science and mathematics together over five years, learning how to write code, analyse data, and solve problems using mathematical theory and statistical methods. Unlike a single major, this double degree gives you depth in both fields so you can build algorithms and understand the theory behind them. It suits people who want flexibility between pure mathematics and applied programming, and who value alternating work terms with their studies.
