What you study	Biological Sciences Biotechnology Business Studies Chemistry	Business Studies Finance Human Resource Management Interdisciplinary Studies
What it is	You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.	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.
