| What it is | A Liberal Science degree lets you study physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences without committing to a single specialization. Unlike a focused science program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple science fields before choosing a direction or combining them in your final year. It suits students who are strong in science but unsure which branch appeals most, or who want a broad understanding of how different sciences connect. | 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. | You study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules and cells to behaviour and disease. The BSc and Management stream adds business and management courses alongside your neuroscience work, preparing you for leadership roles in healthcare or research settings. This program suits people drawn to both biological science and understanding the mind, especially those interested in research, medicine, or healthcare careers. |

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.
