What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics — algebra, calculus, geometry, and how to solve real-world problems using mathematical tools. This is a general math program rather than a specialized stream like actuarial science or mathematics education. It suits students who enjoy abstract reasoning and want flexibility to apply math in science, technology, finance, or further study.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
