What it is	You study chemistry and music together over five years instead of the usual four. Chemistry covers atoms, reactions, and lab work; music covers performance, theory, and composition. This program suits people genuinely interested in both fields who want a full degree in each, not just a minor or elective courses alongside a major.	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.
