Note 1: Acceptance into the Science Faculty does not guarantee acceptance into a chosen major because some majors (currently Biochemistry,
Genetics, Geology and Human Physiology) have limits on the number of students that can be accommodated. Selection for these is based on
academic criteria which will be clearly communicated to students during the first year of study. Students will be advised in their first year to take
foundational courses whichcould lead to several majors.
Note 2: If you have not completed Physical Sciences in your school-leaving examinations, your choice of major will be restricted to Archaeology
and Environmental & Geographical Science.
Note 3: If you are in a category we judge to have been affected by inequality and disadvantage, you could expect to be offered a place with results
