The ordinary first degree is taken over three years, and the key feature of the Bachelor of Science degree (BSc)is its flexibility. Within the confines set by the timetable, students can combine subjects in myriad ways to create curricula that meet their interests. This flexibility includes allowing students to take a major subject from commerce, the humanities and law such that students can major in Environmental Science and Anthropology, Biochemistry and Law or Geology and Economics. The BSc does not set out to educate or train a student for a career but instead allows for the construction of a knowledge and skills base that prepares a student for a wide range of possible careers or advanced study in their chosen subject. The flexibility in curriculum design creates an opportunity for students to decide if they are attracted to trans-disciplinary academic training and education.
