About the Programme

The minimum period required for the (six credit) Bachelor of Science degree programme which first commenced in 1984/85, is three academic years.

Aims and Objectives

The Programme leading to the award of the Bachelor of Science Degree is designed :

1. to enable particularly those in middle level employment in scientific fields to
    obtain an academic degree and thereby improve their promotional and/or
    career prospects;

2. to facilitate late developers to come back into the mainstream of formal 
    education with a view to obtaining an academic degree;

3. to enable those who, for economic or other reasons, were unable to avail
    themselves of chances and openings they had at the end of their secondary
    school career, to make good the loss by obtaining an academic degree
    whilst being employed;

4. to enable any person to pursue a degree course in Science in their own time
    at an affordable cost;

5. to widen students' horizons through the compulsory non-science courses at
    Level 3.

6. to allow students to combine courses within and outside the Science Faculty to
    suit his/her interests or job requirements.

7. to contribute towards raising the general educational standards of the people.

Students are required to offer, at Level 3, six compulsory courses (of one-sixthredit rating each) adding up to a total of 1 credit. The balance 1 credit at Level 3 comprises of basic science courses in any three disciplines (of one-third credit each) open by the student. However, students will not be permitted to select more than two of the three disciplines Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.

Courses are offered at,
