TR071 Science consists of four patterns each of which is explained by the following.

Options

Each option block is 10 ECTS credits (Maths and Physics are 10 + 10 = 20). You take 30 ECTS in each of the two Semesters = 60 ECTS in the year.

Semester 1 Semester 2
Biology BY1101 Biology BY1102
Chemistry CH1101 Chemistry CH1102
Geography GG1021 Geography GG1022
Maths Methods MA1M01 Foundation Physics PY1F01
Maths MA1S11 Maths MA1S12
Physics PY1P10 Physics PY1P20
Geology GL1101

Pattern 1

Semester 1 Semester 2
Maths MA1S11 Maths MA1S12
Physics PY1P10 Physics PY1P20

And two of the following (one from each semester)

Semester 1 Semester 2
Biology BY1101 Biology BY1102
Chemistry CH1101 Chemistry CH1102
Geography GG1021 Geography GG1022
  Geology GL1101

What you can do as a Moderatorship

Depending on which options you take in the first and second year: Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Physics with Astrophysics

What you cannot do as a Moderatorship

Biochemistry, Botany, Environmental Sciences, Genetics, Geography, Functional Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Physiology and Zoology.

Pattern 2

Semester 1 Semester 2
Maths MA1S11 Maths MA1S12

And four of the following (two from each semester)

Semester 1 Semester 2
  Foundation Physics PY1F01
Biology BY1101 Biology BY1102
Chemistry CH1101 Chemistry CH1102
Geography GG1021 Geography GG1022
  Geology GL1101

What you can do as a Moderatorship

Depending on which options you take in the first and second year: Biochemistry, Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Genetics, Geography, Geology, Functional Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Physiology and Zoology.

But note an example of prerequisites:

If you wished to take Neuroscience through Pattern 2 then your first year options would have to include Maths, Chemistry 101, Chemistry 102, Biology 101 and Biology 102.

What you cannot do as a Moderatorship

Physics or Physics with Astrophysics .

Pattern 3

Semester 1 Semester 2
Maths Methods MA1M01  

And five of the following (two from each semester 1 and three from semester 2)

Semester 1 Semester 2
  Foundation Physics PY1F01
Biology BY1101 Biology BY1102
Chemistry CH1101 Chemistry CH1102
Geography GG1021 Geography GG1022
  Geology GL1101

What you can do as a Moderatorship

Depending on which options you take in the first and second year: Biochemistry, Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Genetics, Geography, Geology, Functional Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience and Zoology.

But note an example of prerequisites:

If you wished to keep Chemistry open as a degree path then you would have to take Chemistry 101 and Chemistry 102.

What you cannot do as a Moderatorship

Physics or Physics with Astrophysics.

Pattern 4

Semester 1 Semester 2
Biology BY1101 Biology BY1102
Chemistry CH1101 Chemistry CH1102
Geography GG1021 Geography GG1022
  Geology GL1101

What you can do as a Moderatorship

Depending on which options you take in the first and second year: Botany, Environmental Sciences, Geography and Geology.

Note this pattern gives limited options for degree paths.

What you cannot do as a Moderatorship

Biochemistry, Chemistry, Genetics, Functional Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Physics, Physics with Astrophysics, Physiology and Zoology.
