PROGRAM OVERVIEW Program Structure In their first year of study, students take Science Foundation courses as well as various language, elective and/or general education courses. On completion of their first year, students declare their majors offered by the School of Science, as well as Joint School Programs and the programs offered by the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies. Most science major programs offer different study tracks and options, while providing an opportunity for double majors and minors. This flexibility caters to students with diverse academic and career aspirations. Majors and Minors Major Programs The School of Science offers the following major programs: • BSc in Biochemistry and Cell Biology (BCB) • BSc in Biomedical and Health Sciences (BMH) • BSc in Biotechnology (BIOT) • BSc in Biotechnology and Business (BIBU)1 • BSc in Chemistry (CHEM) • BSc in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Science (DASC) • BSc in Data Science and Technology (DSCT)2 • BSc in Mathematics (MATH) • BSc in Mathematics and Economics (MAEC)1 • BSc in Ocean Science and Technology (OST) • BSc in Physics (PHYS) • BSc in Risk Management and Business Intelligence (RMBI)3 Remarks: 1.

Students will declare a major program in their second year. They may also consider declaring a minor program to add a secondary area of focus to their studies. 120 Credits 4 Years The School of Science offers two general Schoolbased program choices – the Science (Group A) program and the Science (Group B) program. The Science (Group A) program is tailor-made for students interested in the physical sciences, whereas the Science (Group B) Program is more suitable for those who are interested in the natural sciences. Students declare their corresponding majors upon completing their first year of studies. including research and development, education, manufacturing, logistics, and business and finance. In recent years, the School has dedicated its efforts and resources to designing a range of laboratory and signature courses that cultivate students’ proficiency in experimental methods and logical analysis - two indispensable pillars of the scientific method. In addition to rigorous academic training, we place equal emphasis on our students’ personal development. To that end, a wide range of co-curricular activities and training are provided to enrich their university experience further. These include, but are not limited to, overseas exchange, undergraduate research, internships, community services and engagement programs, which have been designed specifically for the School of Science students. School-based Admissions At the School of Science, the Schoolbased programs allow students to gain a deeper understanding of various aspects of science and realize their personal interests before deciding on their majors. Our goal is to offer a diverse, interdisciplinary and inquirydriven undergraduate education so that students have the freedom to choose majors and minors that reflect their individual interests and goals. Our programs are designed to nurture young scientists and equip them with advanced scientific knowledge, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of humankind. Our students are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in activities demanding critical thinking, analysis and task execution to excel in their future professions, Minor Programs Students can also broaden their learning experiences by enrolling in various minor programs offered both within and beyond the School of Science. 06 07
