Recommended Science strands


These programs are indicative rather than prescriptive. Students may, with the approval of the Associate Dean or relevant Head of Department, undertake alternative programs in order to fulfil the academic requirements for the degree. The exact order in which the subjects are undertaken may vary depending upon timetable constraints and the number of science and law subjects each student elects to study in any one semester. Note: Quotas on some of the subjects shown below may restrict enrolment.
