Students must select units worth 50 credits from one of the following subject pathways in addition to taking SC22002 (Natural Sciences portfolio 2) and CH22008 (Fundamental concepts of chemistry) which are compulsory regardless of the pathway you choose:
Biology and Chemistry pathway- Compulsory unit: CH22008 (Fundamental concepts of chemistry);
- 20 credits from the lists of Biology options;
- 10 credits from the other lists of options (NB. students taking units running in S1 and S2 must take both units in the same subject area - e.g. two Pharmacology units, two Mathematical Sciences units, or two Management units).
Biology and Environment pathway- Compulsory units: SC22002 Environmental science and sustainability (10 credits) and CH22008 (Fundamental concepts of chemistry);
- 10 or 20 credits from the lists of Biology options;
- Students choosing 10 credits of biology options may take 10 credits from the other lists of options (NB. students taking units running in S1 and S2 must take both units in the same subject area - e.g. two Pharmacology units, two Mathematical Sciences units, or two Management units).
Chemistry and Environment pathway- Compulsory unit: SC22002 Environmental science and sustainability (10 credits);
- 10 or 20 credits from the lists of Biology options;
- Up to 20 credits from the other lists of options (NB. students taking units running in S1 and S2 must take both units in the same subject area - e.g. two Pharmacology units, two Mathematical Sciences units, or two Management units).
