Scholarships
DescriptionOur three-year Natural Science program is within the Department of Biology, yet does not require Chemistry and Mathematics prerequisites and contains less theory-based courses when compared to our traditional Biology programs. If you wish to apply, and acquire a basic knowledge of Biology, without pursuing the "career-scientist" route, Natural Science is for you.

Following the completion of your Natural Science studies, you will:

  • Understand the basic principles of life systems and biological diversity
  • Demonstrate a high level of biological literacy
  • Understand the role and relationship of organisms in the environment
  • Exhibit advanced critical thinking and reflective experience skills
