In common with other degrees in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Population Sciences follows a unit structure. You take eight units during each of your three years, four in each of the two semesters.
Examinations take place at the end of each semester.
The degree contains compulsory and optional units. While giving you a thorough grounding in population sciences, this combination also allows study in related subjects such as sociology, languages, geography, marketing and so on. All students in the Faculty follow a first year programme that provides a broad introduction to the undergraduate study of social sciences. The Population Sciences compulsory units lay down the framework within which you will study population, and show how to make the most of the University resources for learning. You also study one unit in economics and one in sociology, two social sciences vital for population scientists.
