What you study	Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics Music	Agriculture Anthropology Archaeology Biological Sciences	Accounting Anthropology Archaeology Biological Sciences
What it is	You study both music and mathematics as full degree programs over five years, earning separate Bachelor of Arts and Science degrees. Unlike a single major with a minor, you complete all requirements for both fields, which means substantial coursework in music theory, performance, and composition alongside calculus, linear algebra, and advanced mathematics. This program suits students who are genuinely committed to both subjects and want depth in each rather than choosing one primary field.	Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.	You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.
