What it isYou study pure and applied mathematics — both the theoretical foundations and how to use them in real-world problems like engineering, finance, or science. Unlike a straight math degree, this program lets you take paid work terms at companies or organizations, so you apply what you're learning while earning and building experience. It suits students who want mathematical depth but also want to test out careers and see where math is actually used.An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.
