What it is	You study mathematics, statistics, and finance together to understand how to measure and manage financial risk in banks, investment firms, and insurance companies. Unlike a straight business degree, this program emphasizes the quantitative and mathematical tools that financial professionals actually use to model markets and predict uncertainty. The co-op option lets you work in the industry while you study. This program suits people who are comfortable with advanced math and want to apply it to real-world financial problems.	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 fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, management, and human resources — while earning a degree from both University of Ottawa and a partner institution abroad. The dual degree means you spend time at two universities and graduate with credentials from both, giving you international experience and exposure to different business practices. This suits students who want a business foundation with global perspective and the opportunity to study and work in another country.
