Title: Question about BSci (Hon) and taking on quadruple science.
Post by: Peedles on January 25, 2012, 02:53:04 pm: Hey Guys,

I've heard from somewhere that completion of 87.5 (7 subjects) level 3 subjects is required in order to gain entry into either of the BBiomed and BSci Honour program. Can anyone confirm this? Also, for those who have taken 4 science subjects per semester, is it tough to manage or is does it feel the same as completing a breadth with three sciences.

THANKS!

at least 50 points of study (one half of a full year) completed at third year level in science or technology areas of study,

I think they count the best 87.5 points of level 3 subjects and if you have done 6 or less, they will just average out all the level 3 grades that you have.

Wait, I heard it from you!! You said a friend of yours didn't complete so and so many level 3 subjects and got rejected from Honours!

LOL did you pass your first aid?

Yup passed first aid with an H1 :)

However one of those four science subjects was Research-Based Physiology, which I can't say I spent too much time on! :D Though business finance is a bit more intense than other breadth subjects I guess. Sure you'll be fine :)
