Aim
The aim of this program is to provide a broad science education through a combination of majors from the science disciplines of Applied Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Ecosystem Sciences, Mathematics, Geographical Information Science and Geoscience, Biogeochemistry and Computer Science. The program aims to produce graduates who have an understanding of the fundamental concepts of the sciences they have elected to study, while the emphasis on laboratory and fieldwork is designed to give graduates the necessary skills to apply their knowledge in some field of human endeavour. The program also provides an appropriate science preparation for intending secondary science teachers.
