Programme Name | Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry |
---|---|
Programme Description | This programme allows students to study biology and chemistry jointly to cover a broad base of topics in both disciplines. Courses in biology and chemistry will give students knowledge of organisms (from the cellular level up to ecosystem level interactions) and how they can be understood and manipulated through applying chemical tools, techniques, and analysis at the molecular level. The students will have practical exercises in the laboratory and field trips to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained in lecture classes. |
Majors | Biology, Chemistry |
Minimum Requirement | • The minimum entry requirement for this Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry programme is a pass (200/400) in Fiji Year 13 Certificate Examination (Form 7) or foundation science or its equivalent programme/unit, with emphasis on Mathematics, English, Biology and Chemistry subjects. • Foundation Science with a GPA of 2.00 or more. • For mature age applicants/alternative entry: All items listed in 1.3.1 to 1.3.7 of UASR shall be submitted with the following documents: (i) Tertiary or other Qualification Result (s) if any and (ii) Letter from employer and Curriculum Vitae. |
