The Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences stands out as one of our most adaptable programs. This time-tested, rigorous, and fulfilling degree is perfect if your academic passions cover multiple disciplines with at least one scientific field. It allows you to deepen your current interests while discovering new areas of study.
By working across different fields, you'll develop a comprehensive skillset and knowledge base applicable to diverse industries, both within scientific sectors and broader professional environments. The program also serves as excellent preparation for advanced postgraduate studies.
This degree offers two distinct pathways: the BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences and the BSc Joint Honours. Both options provide the flexibility to switch to either the Year Abroad or Placement track after your second year, extending your program from three to four years.
Subjects are organized into three categories:
Group 1 comprises Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. A minimum of 50% of your second and third-year studies must focus on Group 1 subjects, though not all combinations are available.
Group 2 includes Anthropology, Business, Economics, Geography, and Philosophy.
Group 3 features Sport and Education (excluding History of Art). These subjects are only available in the BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences pathway, with no more than half of your upper-year studies coming from Groups 2 and 3. Prospective students interested in Group 3 subjects should consult the Natural Sciences Admissions Selector.
Detailed information about available subjects can be found on the Natural Sciences program website.
BSc Joint Honours
Joint Honours degrees are offered in these combinations:
Biology paired with Anthropology, Chemistry, Geography, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, or Psychology;
Chemistry combined with Biology, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, or Physics;
Computer Science partnered with Business, Mathematics, or Physics;
Earth Sciences matched with Biology, Chemistry, or Geography;
Mathematics joined with Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Philosophy, Physics, or Psychology;
Physics coupled with Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Philosophy;
Psychology combined with Biology, Economics, or Mathematics.
