 17.1. Science component of the Combined Law/Science degree

A minimum of 200 science points is required, which must include:

• between 50 and 125 points at the 100-level;

• completion of 50 points of a prescribed science major at the 300-level.

Note that:

• There are no specific requirements at the 200-level.

• Science points are awarded for the completion of a vast majority of the subjects that are listed in the Science section of this Handbook. Exceptions include some of the subjects offered by the Department of Information Systems; some geomatics subjects, engineering mathematics, engineering physics, engineering chemistry and engineering earth sciences subjects.

• The Faculty of Science offers a Bachelor of Science (Honours) program. It involves advanced research and coursework and results in the award of an Honours qualification. Refer to General Faculty information about Honours.

 17.1.1. 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 Quota subjects in the Faculty of Science entry for further details).

Prerequisites are stated in the subject entries.
