The BSc Honours programme is open to candidates with a BSc or BA degree in Environmental Studies or any cognate discipline in Science, Social Science or Humanities, and who reach the minimum entry requirements of the Faculty of Science for an Honours programme (65% weighted average). This is a highly competitive programme and therefore this minimum requirement allows your application to be considered, and does not guarantee admission.
