The School of Natural Sciences offers degree programs in the environmental and life sciences with a strong emphasis on practical learning and problem solving through laboratory and field work. Each of the School’s programs integrates a sound knowledge of the discipline with the important generic skills of effective communication, information handling and computing.
The programs in Biological Sciences and Environmental Management provide opportunities for students to complete a second major, which is designed to enhance their employment opportunities.
The Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences) is designed for students with a strong interest in the living world. The Biological Science Major covers such areas as cellular and molecular biology, genetics and evolution, zoology, botany, ecology and environmental science.
