What you study	Mathematics	Business Studies Finance Mathematics	Business Studies Finance Human Resource Management Interdisciplinary Studies
What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics — algebra, calculus, geometry, and how to solve real problems with math. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want to test whether they prefer pure mathematics, data work, or applied roles in industry before committing to a specialization.	You study business management combined with advanced mathematics and data analysis for finance. This dual program goes deeper into quantitative methods than a standard business degree, letting you build models and analyse financial data rather than just learning business theory. It suits students who are comfortable with math, want finance careers, and prefer hands-on problem-solving over pure theory.	You study business and law together over six years instead of doing them separately. The combined degree lets you take courses in both fields and finish with credentials in commerce and law, rather than choosing one path. It suits people who want to understand both how businesses operate and how legal systems regulate them, and who are considering careers that bridge business strategy, corporate law, or compliance.
