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.	This program teaches computer science and mathematics together, so you study both programming and advanced math in an integrated way rather than as separate majors. The BSc&Mgt version adds business courses, preparing you for roles that blend technical and management skills. It suits students who want strong foundations in both fields and are interested in solving complex problems that require both computational and mathematical thinking.	A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.
