The introductory course MUSC 160 Introduction to Music Theory and Musicianship is offered in Trimester 3 for students without a good foundation in music theory.

SCIENCE AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE Bachelor of Science (BSc)
Most Bachelor of Science majors can be started at an introductory level and completed within three years. However, students of Actuarial Science, Biotechnology, Cell and Molecular Bioscience, Chemistry, Computer Graphics and Games, Computer Science, Electronic and Computer Systems, Geophysics, Mathematics, and Physics will need to have met NCEA (or equivalent) requirements of core courses in these majors to complete in this time. For students who do not meet these requirements, it is still possible to catch up in most majors. Students will be advised of their options during the course enrolment process. Bachelor of Biomedical Science (BBMedSc) For the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, NCEA Level 3 Chemistry is strongly recommended. For those who haven’t met the NCEA or equivalent requirements, there are alternative pathways available—our student success advisers can give more information.
