To be admitted to a Bachelor of Science from a Senate-recognised Form 7 or equivalent examination a person shall have passed English and mathematics plus two of biology, chemistry, physics and technology in that examination.

Programme Requirements:

The Bachelor of Science consists of:

  1. 22 courses, of which eight are at 100-level, eight at 200-level and six at 300-level inclduing 2 100-level generic courses and a 200-level generic courses; and either
  2. a single major structure composed of a major discipline, one or normally two minor disciplines, and elective courses, where:
    1. the single major is between nine and twelve courses in one discipline, of which at least
      - two courses are at 100-level; and
      - two courses are at 200-level; and
      - three courses are at 300-level
    2. the minor is between four and five courses in one discipline, of which at least
      - two courses are at 100-level; and
      - two courses are above 100-level
    3. the elective courses are from other than the major and minor disciplines, or

Note: In some disciplines the Senate has approved variations on these single, double and minor structures.

However, some major disciplines have additional or exceptional admission or programme requirements which have been listed with the major descriptions below. There are also two interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science programmes that have the above admission requirements but do not follow the above programme requirements for major and minor disciplines. Instead they have largely prescribed sets of courses, across discipline boundaries. They are the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and the Bachelor of Science in Marine Science.
