What it isData Science combines statistics, programming, and problem-solving to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program emphasizes the mathematical and statistical foundation needed to analyze data rather than just building software. A co-op placement is built in, so you'll work in real data roles while studying. It suits people who enjoy both math and logic puzzles and want to solve practical business problems using data.A three-year mathematics degree where you study pure and applied mathematics without the depth required for honours. You choose electives from computer science, physics, statistics, and economics to build a program suited to your interests rather than following a fixed honours sequence. This suits students who want solid mathematical training for careers in business, teaching, or technical fields without committing to graduate-level mathematics study.
