| What it is | You study pure and applied mathematics: algebra, calculus, geometry, logic, and problem-solving with numbers and abstract structures. The BA leans toward theory and breadth across disciplines; the BSc goes deeper into mathematics itself and how it connects to physics and science. The co-op option lets you work terms in industry, education, or research alongside your classes, which suits people who want real-world experience or need to test whether they prefer theory or applied work. | You study computer science and mathematics together, learning to solve problems by combining coding skills with advanced mathematical theory. Unlike a regular computer science program, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your degree, giving you real professional experience alongside your studies. This suits students who want technical depth, enjoy both abstract math and practical programming, and prefer to earn money and build their resume while studying. | This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production. | You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing. |

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.
