Faculty of Science – Leading creativity and innovation in the sciences
Subjects and specialisations at undergraduate level
We offer more than 30 different subject majors and specialisations at undergraduate level for Science students.
A major consists of at least four courses in a single subject at an advanced level (Stage III).
A specialisation draws together different subjects with a common theme, allowing a diverse approach to study that cannot be obtained within a BSc subject major. Specialisations are often used to complement a major, or broaden a student's focus.
