| What it is | You study business and computer science together as one integrated degree, learning both how to manage organizations and how to build software systems. Unlike a regular business degree, you gain technical depth in programming, databases, and systems design alongside strategy and finance. This suits students who want to work at the intersection of technology and business — such as roles in software product management, IT strategy, or startup development — and who are comfortable with demanding math and coding coursework. | You study computer science and mathematics together over five years, learning how to write code, analyse data, and solve problems using mathematical theory and statistical methods. Unlike a single major, this double degree gives you depth in both fields so you can build algorithms and understand the theory behind them. It suits people who want flexibility between pure mathematics and applied programming, and who value alternating work terms with their studies. |

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.
