You will need to complete a total of 144 units of courses of which no fewer than 96 units must be science courses*.

Your program must include:

Either a double science major (cf list of science majors)

Or two science majors (cf list of science majors)

And may not include more than 60 units of 1000 series courses

The maximum period for completion of the degree program is 10 years from the date of first enrolment in the program. The 10 years includes periods of leave.

*Science courses are designated and grouped by level:

• Group A indicates first year, 1000 series courses
• Group B indicates second year, 2000 series courses
• Group C indicates third and fourth year, 3000 series or 4000 series courses.

Group B courses may have prerequisites in Group A, and Group C courses may have prerequisites in Group B. Students are expected to obtain at least a grade of Pass in prerequisite courses. Prerequisites may be waived in special circumstances on the recommendation of the Head of Department/School concerned.

Science courses are courses offered by the Schools and Departments of the Colleges of Science as well as some courses offered by the Department of Computer Science, Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science and the Department of Finance and Applied Statistics, Colleges of Business, Economics and CASS as listed in the Colleges of Science section under these Departments.
(The details of Group A, B and C courses are given under the Summary of Courses tab. They also include courses from the Department of Computer Science, Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science and the Department of Finance and Applied Statistics, Colleges of Business, Economics and CASS)
