The Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree is a one-year research based qualification. Currently this is being offered in the area of Environmental Science. This allows students to undertake research on the campus utilising its natural resources as well as supporting environmental projects. The research topic is chosen in consultation with the Dean and the supervisor, and would involve one or more of the following:
1.   A systems approach to understanding the present and past interactions between the processes operating in the lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, and the perturbations of these systems by extra-terrestrial influences
2.   The scientific study of surface and near-surface physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic processes operating on the Earth
3.   Modelling environmental phenomena
4.   Problem-solving related to environmental phenomena
5.   The history of the Earth in the context of the period of human occupancy
6.   The monitoring and management of natural and human-induced environmental changes
7.   Scientific examination of the implications of sustainability and sustainable development.
Academic eligibility for direct admission into the Bachelor of Science (Honours) is met if a prospective student has achieved a minimum PAU GPA of 2.7, or the equivalent at another institution, in a relevant baccalaureate degree. Applicants for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) must also have good moral character and a willingness to order their lives in harmony with the aims and philosophy of the University. Relevant work experience may be taken into account for research degree admission.
