From 2020 there are a core group of courses that you must pass to be able to gain your Bachelor of Science. As a current student, depending on whether or not you move to the new 2020 regulations, you may have to adjust the courses you are enrolled in. This applies to the areas of science and sustainability, and mathematics and statistics.
There will be three compulsory core BSc Science and Sustainability courses.
