| What it is | Actuarial Science is the study of risk and uncertainty using mathematics, statistics, and business analysis to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other organizations make financial decisions. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, this program focuses on applied problem-solving for real-world financial scenarios. The co-op option lets you work in the field while studying, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. This program suits people who enjoy mathematics and statistics, think logically about complex problems, and want a career with strong technical foundations and professional prospects. | This program teaches you how social systems, policy, and technology shape health outcomes. You'll study both how societies organize healthcare and how digital tools collect and use health data to inform decisions. It suits people interested in the intersection of public health, policy work, and health information systems rather than clinical patient care. |
