What you study	Economics Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics	African Studies Business Studies Economics Environmental Studies
What it is	You study both mathematics and economics together as equal subjects rather than taking one as your major and one as a minor. The program includes mandatory work-study terms where you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in related fields. This combination suits people who want to understand how numbers, statistics, and mathematical theory apply to real-world economic problems and policy, and who value hands-on professional experience alongside their degree.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
