Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Science degrees require 3 years of full-time
study or equivalent part-time, and the completion of subjects
to the value of 144 credit points. In the Faculty of Science,
Bachelor of Science degrees fall into one of three categories,
as follows:
| 1. |
a) |
At least one major chosen from disciplines
located in the Faculty of Science. A major study
consists of at least 90 credit points from the Science
Schedule of which at least 60 credit points are
from one of the Faculty of Science disciplines:
The balance of 54 credit points ( to a degree total
of 144) may be chosen from either the Science
Schedule or General
Schedule and may include a second Science major
or a selection of complementary or contrasting subjects.
|
| |
b) |
One major from within the Faculty of Science and
a co-major from outside the Faculty. Approved co-majors
are: Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, Human
Resource Management, Management, Marketing, Mathematics/Applied
Statistics, Nutrition, Physics, Psychology. In this
category, where an approved major is combined with a
Science major, the requirement of at least 90 credit
points from the Science Schedule is waived. |
| 2. |
An approved major from outside of
the Faculty combined with a minor from within the Faculty.
A minor is defined as comprising at least 12
credit points of 100-level and 32 credit points of 200-level
and/or 300-level subjects from one of the Science Academic
Units: Biological Sciences, Chemistry or Geosciences.
The allowed external majors are Computer Science,
Mathematics/Applied Statistics, Physics, Psychology.
NB: Students wishing to undertake a major program
involving a discipline outside of the Faculty of Science
as in 1(b) and 2 above, must first obtain the approval
of the Head of the relevant Department or School and
verify their planned study program. Recommended major
programs can be obtained from the Faculty of Science
Office in room 41.258. |
| 3. |
One of the six special
degree programs, as listed below. These programs
have separate entry requirements from the general BSc.
The approval of the Dean or Sub-Dean is required for
entry.
