Some of our聽Chemistry, Maths and Physics courses聽are offered at a more challenging level. If you鈥檙e聽a聽鲍狈厂奥听Science student聽choosing your subject levels, this information can help.
Which level of Chemistry, Maths or Physics?聽
Some courses (subjects) offer "higher" versions for students for two reasons:聽
- it聽may be compulsory for a particular major because a higher level of knowledge is required聽
- students may simply like the topic, excel in it, and would like an extra challenge.聽聽
These "higher" courses are not more highly weighted, nor do they give you any extra bonus points. In your first year, Maths, Physics and Chemistry have various levels on offer. If you're studying聽Human Biology majors, for example, these usually require standard maths courses. On the other hand, Mathematical Science majors require higher level聽Maths courses to be completed.
