Science is concerned with the study of the nature andproperties of the world with various scientific disci-plines dealing with different aspects of these studies.The Faculty organises its teaching and research throughdepartments. Currently, these are: Agricultural Science,Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography andEnvironmental Studies, Geology (including theNational Key Centre for Ore Deposit and ExplorationStudies (CODES)), Institute of Antarctic and SouthernOcean Studies (IASOS), Mathematics, Plant Science,Physical Sciences, Physics, Psychology and Zoology.Courses in Science are intended to convey the basicprinciples and methods of science, to develop powers ofobservation and deduction and to improve thestudent’s ability to solve problems and to find relevantinformation in published sources. A science degreeprovides many employment opportunities. It may,however, be the beginning of specialist training whichcan be gained through vocationally oriented postgradu-ate study and higher degrees.Scientists are concerned with the search for truth andknowledge, and pursue this through the process ofexperimentation. Teaching staff are actively engaged inresearch and it is expected that they will conveythrough their teaching some of the excitement andenthusiasm generated by the exploration of newfrontiers.

Note: readers are advised that the Faculty continues to be known as the Faculty of Science & Technology.The Department of Applied Computing & Mathematics (which was to have been assigned to a new Facultyof Information Technology, q.v.) has been renamed the Department of Computing. The Department ofSurveying and Spatial Information Science (Faculty of Engineering, q.v.) has been closed and the staff re-assigned to the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies in the Faculty of Science &Technology.

Appendix to Bachelor of Science:Schedule A

In addition to the units listed in the BSc Schedule A,and subject to the academic restrictions and exclusionslisted below, BSc students are allowed to enrol inundergraduate units which are taught by the Depart-ments of Classics, English, History, Modern Languages,Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology, and whichare listed in Schedule A of BA Rules.They are also allowed to enrol in most undergraduateunits which are taught in the Departments of Account-ing & Finance, and Economics, and which are listed inSchedule A of BCom and BEc Rules.The following general principles apply:a) GroupsStudents are reminded that the maximum points thatcan be counted towards the BSc degree from Group 1Ais 9 points; Group 2A is 12 points; and Group 3A is 18points.As a general guide, a unit listed in Group 1 of BA,BCom or BEc Schedule A is treated as a Group 1A unitfor BSc students; Group 2 units in BA, BCom or BEcSchedule A are group 2A units for BSc students, and soon. Some departures from these criteria are listed asfollows and in the Bachelor of Science: Schedule A.Units listed in Groups 1A, 2A and 3A of other faculties’schedules are for students of those faculties only. If indoubt, see the Deputy Academic Dean or FacultyExecutive Officer.(b) Corequisites Corequisites prescribed for Arts,Economics or Commerce degree students do not applyto BSc students who take units from those facultiestowards the BSc degree.(c) Special Conditions

A student enrolling in any of the units listed below issubject to the conditions and limits prescribed in theBSc Rules, as well as any additional requirementsspecified by the Academic Dean or Deputy AcademicDean in each case.(d) ChangesThe Faculty reserves the right to correct errors orinconsistencies; and to make changes, with or withoutnotice, to BSc Schedule A and its Appendices.

Bachelor of Science: Schedule B(Abridged) – Overlapping Units

Faculty does not permit overlapping courses to becounted twice towards the BSc degree. A table ofclashing units has been prepared into a Schedule whereunits in Column 1 clash with units in Column 2. Nounits in Column 2 may be counted toward the BScdegree with the units shown opposite them in Column1 (BSc Rule 4[11]).Full details of this Schedule are available from each ofthe Secretaries of the Science teaching departments, theFaculty Office, the Deputy Academic Dean and theAssistant Academic Deans of the Board of Studies inScience.This list includes only units offered since 1990. Forother prohibited combinations see the earlier BScSchedule B, contact the Faculty Executive Officer.Additional restrictions on units which may not becounted with other units are contained in Rule 4 of therules of the Degree of Bachelor of Science.

Bachelor of Science: Schedule C – Core UnitsThe Faculty of Science has approved the following Group 1 and 2 core units, in accordance with the new BSc Rules4(1) and (3)
