What it is	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.	A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.
