Degrees
The Faculty of Mathematics grants the BMath (Bachelor of Mathematics) degree for most of its undergraduate programs. Computer Science undergraduates can generally choose between graduating with a BMath or a BCS (Bachelor of Computer Science) degree. The former requires more coursework in mathematics. Specialized degrees exist for the Software Engineering program (the BSE, or Bachelor of Software Engineering) and Computing and Financial Management (BCFM, or Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management.) Students in the Mathematical Physics and Bioinformatics programs can also choose to graduate with BSC's, and graduates of Mathematical Economics can graduate with a BMath or a BA depening on their course choices. Postgraduate students are generally awarded MMath (Master of Mathematics) or PhD degrees.

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Gradually we come to admit that Shakespeare understands a greater extent and variety of human life than Dante; but that Dante understands deeper degrees of degradation and higher degrees of exaltation.”
