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. Computer Science is not only about programming or coding, but has many aspects such as human-computer interaction (including virtual and augmented reality), artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, cloud computing, and computer graphics. The potential of this field to solve problems and make improvements in our lives is limitless. Computer Science is present in everyday life - in Google searches, driving your car, disease detection, or surveying drones to name a few. Study Involve: An opportunity to study Computer Science alongside other subjects that you are interested in like Psychology, Economics, and Product Design. Work experience opportunities through internships. Computer Science is a flexible subject that you can major or minor in within many degree options.
