Overview

Be constantly challenged and extended by your scientific studies. Think about a career involving scientific research in a wide range of disciplines from Astronomy to Zoology. Engage directly with research academics in their laboratories through unique project subjects specific to the advanced program.

At the beginning of the first year, you'll choose a major (see areas of study), but you can change your major later in the course. You must maintain a grade point average of 5.0 or above to continue your enrolment in the course. You will also complete three research subjects during this course in which you will discover how research is performed by identifying gaps in knowledge, designing research projects, completing experiments in our laboratories, interpretation of results and communicating the findings of your research in various formats. The other four subjects to complete your course are yours to choose: four more subjects in Science or from other Schools or a combination of both.
