This three-year undergraduate degree will give you the skills to become a science innovator in an ever-evolving job market. You might develop new technologies, treat diseases, protect the environment, or address many other problems that require expert scientific minds. You'll learn how to collect, analyse and understand data, gathering a practical toolkit of knowledge. Our students are ready to leap into the careers of the future, and change New Zealand—and the world—for the better. As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Victoria, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. If you have a natural curiosity—always questioning how stuff works, discovering new things and solving problems—join us at the number-one ranked university in New Zealand for research quality. Cell and Molecular Bioscience Be part of one of the most exciting areas in modern science. Discover the mechanics of life and how this relates to the health of humans, or to the relationship between organisms and their environment. Take a look at cell biology, genetics and chemical genetics, and study living organisms at the molecular level. You'll get an introduction to physiology and pharmacology, and learn about human organs and organ systems.
