What will I learn?
A Bachelor of Science (BSc) is about understanding and improving the natural world through observation, experimentation, modelling, and calculation. You will investigate the big issues confronting New Zealand and our planet, including climate change, human health and diseases, the global water crisis, food security, and environmental protection. A BSc will expose you to new ideas and technologies, develop your research skills, and help you make a contribution to the challenges facing our world. Study Involve: Learn from a wide network of field stations reaching from Antarctica to Nigeria and throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. ‘Do science’ right from the first semester of your first year. We have access to the most field stations of any New Zealand university and offer a range of practical experiences, research projects, and lab and fieldwork. Global study experiences, including exchanges to partner universities. You can choose to take a minor in Science, or from additional subjects in Arts, Commerce, Digital Screen, Health, Product Design, Sport, or Youth and Community Leadership. Geology explores the earth building processes of our planet, so that we can best use natural resources, plan land developments and infrastructure, and monitor natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes. With over 500 million years of geological history, Aotearoa is a rich and unique place to study this earth science. Study Involve: Focus on climate change, natural disasters, and other earth systems affecting geological processes. Learn from our experts on earthquake research, with opportunities to take part in real disaster response and observation. Complete practical lab and fieldwork in various stations across Te Waipounamu South Island visiting real geological phenomena, such as earthquake faultlines and volcanoes.
