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 or General Schedules
and may include a second Science major or a selection of complementary
or contrasting subjects. The structure of each major is given
below.
(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, 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 eight 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.
