BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

First year

• Mathematics (required in first year)
• Plus choose three subjects from:

> Biology
> Chemistry
> Computer Science
> Data Science⁷
> Engineering Science⁶
> Experimental Physics
> Mathematical Physics
 

Please scroll down to the NOTES to see the timetabling restrictions in certain subject combinations.

Second year

Continue with 3 of the 4 subjects taken in first year or apply to *transfer into a specialised degree (*the number of transfer places is limited and it is competitive)

> Biology
> Chemistry
> Computer Science¹
> Engineering Science⁶
> Experimental Physics
> Mathematical Physics
> Mathematics
> Statistics⁴
> Electives or Critical Skills (10 credit optional)

Third year

Continue with 2 of the 3 subjects taken in 2nd year
> Applied Mathematics
> Biology
> Chemistry³
> Computer Science²
> Engineering Science⁶
> Experimental Physics
> Mathematical Physics³
> Mathematics (Pure)
> Statistics^{4 5}

Fourth year

Double Major: continue with your two subjects taken in third year
> Applied Mathematics
> Biology
> Chemistry³
> Computer Science²
> Engineering Science⁶
> Experimental Physics
> Mathematical Physics³
> Mathematics (Pure)
> Statistics^{4 5}

or

Single Major: continue with one of the two subjects taken in third year
> Applied Mathematics
> Biology
> Chemistry³
> Computer Science²
> Engineering Science⁶
> Experimental Physics
> Mathematical Physics³
> Mathematics (Pure)

NOTES:

¹Students taking Computer Science in second year must also take Mathematics.
²Students intending to take Computer Science as a Single Major degree must take Mathematics (Pure) or Mathematics (Applied) in third year.
³Chemistry and Mathematical Physics cannot be taken together in third or fourth year.
⁴Statistics may not be taken with Mathematical Physics in any year, or with Chemistry in third and fourth year. Students taking Statistics must also take Mathematics in second year.
⁵Students taking Statistics in second year must also take Mathematics. Statistics can be, but does not have to be, combined with Mathematics in third and fourth year. Statistics may not be taken with Mathematical Physics in any year, or with Chemistry in third and fourth year.
⁶Engineering Science cannot be taken with Biology. Students taking Engineering Science must also take Computer Science. Students may take Computer Science and not take Engineering Science.
⁷Data Science cannot be combined with Mathematical Physics. Students taking Data Science in first year can follow on with Statistics in second
year, provided they get 55% in first year Mathematics. However, Data Science in first year is not a requirement for taking Statistics in second year.
