Programme profile

This is a programme which allows you to take a variety of subjects in the general scientific field before deciding to specialise in one specific area for your four year honours degree.

It is the ideal choice for students who want to study science, but are not yet ready to narrow their options to a specific topic. You can take subjects from the Physical Sciences, for example, and combine them with subjects from the Biological Sciences, the Mathematical Sciences, or the Earth and Ocean Sciences. Opportunities exist to choose from the wide range of subjects offered in the colleges.
