Bachelor of Science sample course plan
This example of a course plan is for
a student wanting to major in
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, who
is also interested in other sciences, art, and social and ethical
issues in science.
Apart from the pre-requisite subjects (dark blue - refer to legend below) and
the need to complete four Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects at third-year
level for a major, the subjects shown are simply suggestions.
You will have access
to many subjects in your science degree and, depending on your interests, your
course plan will probably look very different to the example shown. Note that
you do not have to choose your major until the end of second year.

A complete overview
of subjects available in the Sciences can be found in the Course and Subject Handbook.
