Bachelor of Science - Overview
Applied science is about making real world changes, which is why our degree constantly evolves to reflect the latest advancements in scientific knowledge – both from New Zealand and overseas.
As a science student you access a range of facilities and equipment, often rivalling technology found in large industrial enterprises. Because of the practical application of our majors,you also get out of the classroom and into the real world. Depending on your paper choice you might find yourself diving in the ocean to examine marine life, investigating forest dynamics on Mt Ruapehu, testing food products in our food sensory suite or carrying out analyses in laboratories.
