| What it is | Financial Science combines mathematics, statistics, and economics to understand how money moves through markets and institutions. Unlike a general business degree, it focuses specifically on quantitative analysis and modeling of financial systems rather than broad management skills. It suits students who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand the mechanics behind investments, risk, and financial decision-making. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. |
