What it isChemical biology combines chemistry and biology to study how molecules work inside living things — particularly how drugs and other chemical compounds interact with cells and organisms. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside the science, useful if you're interested in the commercial or leadership side of biotech companies. This program suits you if you enjoy both chemistry and biology equally and want to understand life processes at the molecular level, or if you're considering roles beyond pure research.You study how people think, feel, and behave — their minds, emotions, and actions. The BA program focuses on the human and social side of psychology, while the BSc program emphasizes biology and scientific methods, requiring stronger math and science foundations. This suits you if you're curious about why people do what they do and want either a broader social science education or a research-focused scientific approach.Behavioural Neuroscience is the study of how the brain and nervous system produce behaviour, combining biology, chemistry, and psychology. You'll learn how neurons work, how chemicals affect the brain, and how physical brain activity links to actions and thoughts. This program suits students curious about why people and animals behave the way they do and comfortable with both lab science and human behaviour.Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.
