| What it is | You study the mathematics and computer science behind solving real-world problems with data and algorithms. This program combines pure mathematics, statistics, and information systems rather than focusing on just coding or theoretical math alone. A mandatory co-op component means you'll work in industry during your degree, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want to see how their skills apply in actual jobs. | This is a first-year science program that teaches you foundational chemistry, physics, and related subjects before you specialize. Unlike going directly into a single honours program, you spend your first year exploring different branches of physical science, then choose your final degree path — either a pure science degree or a combined science and engineering degree. It suits students who are strong in math and science but aren't yet sure whether they want to focus purely on theory or blend science with applied engineering. | This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path. |

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.
