Mixed Studies
A course by
Otago University
A three-year undergraduate degree offering flexibility to major in a science subject, combine with other science disciplines, and develop versatile skills highly valued by employers.
In-person study
Face-to-face learning in a physical classroom setting
Dunedin, Dunedin
It will take a total of 3 years

Students will demonstrate a deep understanding of the principles, practices, and current research in their selected major(s) within the sciences.

Graduates will be proficient in using scientific methods to investigate and solve real-world problems, drawing upon interdisciplinary knowledge as required.

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) at the University of Otago is a flexible, three-year undergraduate degree designed for students to develop their interests and expertise in one or more science disciplines. With a wide variety of majors and minors available, students can combine fields such as biology, chemistry, earth science, mathematics, environmental science, and more, as well as take papers from Business, Health Sciences, and Humanities. The programme fosters analytical thinking, practical research skills, and real-world problem solving, preparing graduates for a wide range of science and non-science careers. Fieldwork is a key feature, especially given Otago's unique natural laboratory locations, and students are taught by active researchers in their fields.
