For undergraduates, you can craft your own degree based on how broad, deep, or integrated you want your education to be. Your 40 courses makeup will consist of a Common Curriculum, a Major of your choice, and a wide range of Unrestricted Electives. The Unrestricted Elective space gives you the flexibility to choose if you would like to take a second major, minors, specialisations, general electives, or a combination of them depending on your aptitude and interests.
For graduate research, the research-based programmes provide training in a particular subject area through independent investigation, study and experimental work, culminating in the submission of a thesis on the research undertaken. You will be provided with excellent opportunities to be immersed in a vibrant research-intensive environment for your pursuit of a research degree.
