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.	You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.	You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
