What it isYou 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.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.
