Our professors have a history of supervisory success. Many of our alumni land exciting internships and careers in banks, investment firms, insurance companies, governmental organizations and other financial institutions — including TD, CIBC Mellon, RBC, Questrade, WSIB and many more.
“The [mathematics] program deepened my love for the subject and challenged me out of my comfort zone.”
“The most enjoyable aspect was the good relationship I had with my supervisors. I benefited from weekly discussions and they provided many critical and useful suggestions when I encountered difficulties during my research.”
