What you study	Chemistry	Animal Science Biological Sciences Biotechnology Chemistry
What it is	You study the chemistry of living things at the molecular level, learning how proteins, DNA, and other molecules work inside cells and organisms. This is more focused on biological systems than a straight chemistry program, and more chemistry-heavy than a general biology degree. It suits students who want to understand disease, drug development, or cellular processes and are comfortable with both chemistry and biology at an advanced level.	A Bachelor of Science (General) lets you study science broadly across biology, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, choosing your own mix of courses rather than specializing deeply in one area. Unlike an honours program, it gives you flexibility to explore multiple sciences without committing to a single major or meeting the tighter requirements of a specialized stream. This suits students who are curious about science in general but aren't yet sure which direction appeals to them most.
