The School-based programs at the School of Science aim to offer a diverse, interdisciplinary, and inquiry-driven undergraduate education. Our 4-year curriculum is designed with flexibility to accommodate diversity, integrating lectures, laboratory courses, capstone projects, and language courses tailored for science students. This ensures that students build a solid foundation while gaining exposure to a broad range of scientific disciplines. After exploring their interests and aptitudes during the first two to three terms, students admitted to the School of Science can choose to declare a major in any program offered by the School, as well as the Joint School Programs or those offered by the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies.
Most science major programs offer different study tracks and options, along with opportunities for double majors and minors. Based on their interests, students can further deepen their understanding of their chosen disciplines, which will benefit them in pursuing postgraduate studies. Furthermore, students will have ample opportunities to engage in co-curricular and enrichment activities that broaden their perspectives and foster personal development. Interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts with other units within and outside the University are emphasized to ensure that our science education remains relevant in an ever-changing world.
