What it isThis is a four-year science degree focused on understanding natural systems and how human activity affects them. You study biology, chemistry, ecology, and earth science together rather than picking one specialty. It suits students who want a broad grounding in environmental problem-solving and are comfortable with lab work and field studies.You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.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.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
