 15.1.1. Selection of Science subjects

Students are able to undertake any science subjects for which they have satisfied the prerequisites. Note, however, that a quota applies to some science subjects as demand for the subject is greater than the number of places available. Selection into quota subjects is largely determined by academic performance in science subjects (refer to the Quota Subject entry in the Faculty of Science entry for further detail).

Prerequisites are stated in the subject entries.
