| What it is | Financial Mathematics and Economics is a mathematics-based degree that combines the study of economic systems and financial markets with advanced math and statistics. Unlike a pure economics or pure mathematics program, it trains you to use mathematical models and analysis to solve real-world problems in finance and economics. It suits students who want rigorous quantitative training and are interested in how money, markets, and economies actually work. | Social Science is the study of how societies work: economics, history, politics, psychology, and international development. You choose which subjects to focus on and how to combine them, rather than following a single fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and global problems who want flexibility to explore multiple angles rather than specializing early. | You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation. | A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market. |
