The Bachelor of Science course is a four-year course which constitutes of:
1. Foundation subjects;
2. Double majors;
3. A discipline specific subject and
4. Institutional Core Subjects
It is a full time degree that requires 495 credit points of study as per the PQF and PNGNQF. This revised curriculum offers a double major program in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics and Physics. For a major, there shall be no more than 2 at 100 level, no less than 4 at 200 level and no less than 4 at 300 level.
Students will choose from the following subject combinations as their double majors.
1. Biology and Chemistry
2. Mathematics and Physics
3. Biology and Environmental Science
4. Physics and Environmental Science
5. Chemistry and Environmental Science
6. Mathematics and Environmental Science
There is a practicum session in the fourth year of the course. Practicum is integrated into the Research subject in Science.
Topics covered in the subjects are designed to be relevant and to provide the student with the knowledge and skills necessary for a career in science and geared for the rapidly developing countries in the South Pacific region. The subjects encourage critical thinking and problem solving and provide practical laboratory and field experience the degree is designed to prepare graduates for employment in scientific industry, academia and research facilities.
Minimum B in Mathematics A and two science subjects (Biology, Chemistry or Physics)
