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. Mathematical Sciences Education enables you to explore how mathematics, statistics, and data can inform and change how our society works. In today's data-driven world, mathematics is increasingly important in technical analysis, policy making, education, health, media, and decision making. Mathematical Sciences Education allows you to balance developing your technical expertise in mathematics with the critical skills of communicating and problem solving. Study Involve: Develop your maths and teaching abilities with learning tools and methods such as applied mathematics, computer-assisted learning, and modern maths. Explore how maths, statistics, and data can inform and change how our society works, such as in policy and social contexts. Practical experiences tutoring in UC courses, workshops, schools, and community programmes. Prioritised pathway to becoming a registered maths or statistics teacher through one-year graduate teaching degrees at UC.
