What it is	You study mathematics and economics together as equally important subjects, learning how to use mathematical methods to analyze economic problems and data. This combined degree differs from studying either subject alone because you build expertise in both fields rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits students who enjoy both abstract mathematics and real-world applications, and want to prepare for careers in finance, data analysis, or economic research.	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights and predictions from large amounts of data using mathematics, statistics, and computer programming. This program combines mathematics and statistics with practical business and economics applications, so you learn both the theory behind data analysis and how to apply it to real-world problems. It suits people who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how organizations use data to make decisions, especially if you want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.	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.
