Programme overview
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three year programme with majors covering biological, human and earth, computational, physical and health orientated sciences. The huge range of subjects allows you to customise your degree, incorporating different areas of interest and expertise.

You "take a BSc" by studying courses in a major and other subjects of relevance or interest. These courses are chosen from the subjects and specialisations offered by the Faculty of Science. A major is the subject that you study to the highest level of your undergraduate degree.

As well as skills that are part of your academic learning in your chosen major, your BSc will expose you to new technologies, give you the opportunity to write and present work, the chance to work independently and in groups, and to develop independent research skills. If you are science-minded and want to keep your options open, this is the degree for you.

The Faculty of Science offers 25 different majors for the BSc:

Anthropological Science | Applied Mathematics | Bioinformatics | Biological Sciences | Biomedical Science | Chemistry | Computer Science | Earth Sciences | Ecology | Environmental Science | Food Science and Nutrition | Geography | Geophysics | Information Systems | Logic and Computation | Marine Science | Mathematics | Medicinal Chemistry | Operations Research | Pharmacology | Physics | Physiology | Psychology | Sport and Exercise Science | Statistics
