Bachelor of Science with Education is a collaborative program offered by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Education. This degree is a combination of pedagogical courses and science content courses (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics).The curriculum was recently revised to cater to the demand of a fast changing and challenging education system. Students will be trained to acquire strong fundamental knowledge of science and mathematics; as well as being exposed to the pedagogical content knowledge.
