INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Science is designed to provide high quality science and technology based studies in a wide range of areas from which students can select combinations of majors which are relevant to their interests and aspirations. Provision for breadth of study within a flexible framework gives students the opportunity to meet current and future needs of employers in a wide range of professions. In addition, the course can be structured as a suitable entry degree for a range of postgraduate, professionally based, science courses such as dietetics, medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
