By combining science with studies in arts, humanities or social sciences this double degree course provides you with powerful communication and critical thinking skills coupled with a strong technological or scientific base. It offers over 60 study areas to select from. You might pair criminology with chemistry and take human rights or pharmacology as a minor and focus on forensic science, or human geography combined with ecology and conservation biology for a career in the environmental sector. If your focus is more towards the life sciences, you might consider combining psychology with politics and take minors in bioethics or developmental biology and language studies. The choice is yours. If you're uncertain about which areas of study you like best, our course advisors will help you plan a course of study.
