The Department of Life Sciences has revised its curriculum and will be offering new courses and programmes for the 2011/2012 academic year.

New Level III Students

Students who have already completed Level 2 in Life Sciences (using the previous Level 2 courses) would not be allowed to select the new majors at the start of the 2011/12 academic year but would have to complete the majors/minors previously listed in the Faculty Handbook for Life Sciences (Experimental Biology, Environmental Biology, Microbiology, Botany and Zoology majors and minors) using the existing Level 3 courses.

• Adjustments to majors
• Year 3 courses for existing majors

Finalizing Students

Final year students needing to repeat Level 2 courses will be facilitated by the scheduling of special re-sit examinations of the previous Level 2 courses in the appropriate semester.

Getting More Information

The complete NEW Life Sciences curriculum will be available to all students by the 2012/13 academic year. This new curriculum with the Level III course descriptions and structure will be available in the 2012/13 Faculty Handbook.
