Introduction

This course provides opportunities to combine study in a science area with support study in other areas of the student's choice. It provides a means of response to the rapidly changing needs of society, which rarely fit within the traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines. Graduates will have a sound background in their chosen area but with greater ability to adapt to problems covered in their studies than would otherwise be the case.
