BSc Extended Programmes:

Bachelor of Science four-year programmes / Bachelor of Science in Agriculture five-year programmes (see Faculty brochure)

What do the programmes entail?

The four-year Bachelor of Science and five-year Bachelor of Science in Agriculture programmes have slightly lower minimum admission requirements. These extended programmes are designed for students who, due to exceptional circumstances, may benefit from additional academic support. The programmes provide students the opportunity to pursue a career in several specialisations.

For programme and career information, consult the corresponding three-year Bachelor of Science and four-year Bachelor of Science in Agriculture information. Applications are considered up to 30 June and in a potential second round in August/September.

What makes these programmes unique?

The programmes are designed to accommodate students who did not initially meet the minimum admission requirements to pursue a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree.

Students are provided with more academic support and a stronger foundation in their first year to support the successful transition to higher education. The first year of study comprises foundational modules in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and statistics, in addition to fundamental modules in academic information management, language and study skills. From the second year of study, students complete mainstream modules as prescribed in the respective curricula. Student progress is closely monitored and guided throughout all the years of study.
