What it is	This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path.	You study how Earth's materials, structures, and processes work by combining geology with physics — essentially learning the physics that explains what geologists observe in rocks, earthquakes, and planetary systems. This program differs from studying geology or physics alone because you'll apply physical principles directly to Earth science problems rather than studying them separately. It suits you if you're curious about how the planet works at a fundamental level and want flexibility to pursue either Earth science or physics-based careers.	This program combines science study with teacher education, so you earn qualifications to teach science in secondary school while completing your degree. Unlike a regular science degree followed by teacher training, you work toward both goals at the same time, with coursework in science disciplines alongside education theory and practice teaching. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to study science deeply rather than broadly.
