Faculty of Science
Thank you for choosing to do your science degree at Wits. The Faculty of Science at Wits ranks comfortably amongst the
top science faculties in the country. It has an excellent record of accomplishment in teaching and research, with highly
qualified educators and excellent scientists. Our courses and qualifications are comparable with the best in the world. As
one of five faculties on the Wits campus, we offer courses and degree programs in the basic sciences at all levels, ranging
from bachelors through to doctorate. Our undergraduate offerings include the physical sciences (Chemistry, Physics,
Materials Science and Astrophysics), the mathematical sciences (Computational and Applied Mathematics, Mathematics,
Computer Science, Mathematical Statistics, Actuarial Science, Mathematics of Finance), the biological sciences (Ecology
and Conservation, Biodiversity, Organismal Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Applied Bioinformatics, Microbiology and
Cell Biology), the earth sciences (Geology, Geography, Geophysics, Palaeontology, Archaeology and Environmental
Studies) and interdisciplinary offerings that unify many of these areas. There are several fixed curricula programmes
such as Chemistry with Chemical Engineering that articulate between a BSc in this Faculty and a BScEng in the Faculty
of Engineering and the Built Environment. Indeed, it is possible to construct your own degree programme provided that
one of your majors is offered by a School in the Faculty of Science. For example, it may be possible to major in Chemistry
and Economics, or Mathematics and Philosophy, in your BSc. These possibilities are however limited by the timetable
and the advice of the faculty staff and academics must be sought when wishing to create such a curriculum.
We encourage excellence in your performance, but attaining this excellence often requires that you carefully balance your
private and academic life as a student. The integrated nature of science will foster the integration of your university life
as well and enable you to make life-long friendships. We trust that you will find your studies in the Faculty of Science
both enjoyable and stimulating.
The information in this book outlines the requirements for your degree. Therefore, it is critical that you read and understand
the content of this book, which needs to be read in conjunction with the Rules and Syllabus book.
We as a Faculty are available to assist should you require further clarity regarding the content of this booklet.
We look forward to meeting you and wish you all the best in your pursuit of further education.

All students intending to do a BSc Degree will need to work out their own curriculum within the fields of study. You are encouraged to
seek advice on how to plan your curriculum, which is driven by two main factors:
• Is there a field of study that particularly interests you and what courses do you want to do?
• What constraints are there (e.g., pre-requisites courses, the timetable, etc.)?
The information which follows is designed to introduce you to the curriculum and help you with preliminary planning.
Credit Structure
The BSc curriculum is based on a credit system. Each course carries several credits, defined both by level and duration. You are
required to complete a total of 432 credits for a degree, 144 of which must be from two full year level III courses (majors). You only
gain credit for a course if you pass that course.
Students need to register for at least 144 credits in first, second and third year of study
Course combination
4 x level I courses = 144 credits
3 x level II courses = 144 credits
2 x level III courses = 144 credits
TOTAL = 432 credits
You require two major courses at third year level. Choose courses that are complementary and that give you options as you
proceed to your second and third year of study. At least one of these majors must be in the Faculty of Science.
Minimum Requirements of Study
Page 3 of 61
Faculty of Science
The minimum requirements of study prescribed for students are set out below. Credits awarded for courses are detailed in 2.1.3.4 of
the Science Rules and Syllabus Book. A student who does not meet the minimum requirements of study may be refused permission
by the Senate to renew her/his registration. If, however, a student is permitted to renew her/his registration after having failed to
satisfy the minimum requirements of study, s/he may be required to satisfy these and further conditions as the Senate may determine
in her/his case.
Notwithstanding anything contained above, a student registering for a Bachelor of Science three-year degree may not take longer
than four years to complete the requirements. Only in exceptional circumstances, with the permission of the Senate, may this be
extended by a further year.
The Faculty of Science acknowledges highly successful student achievers and does this by offering several awards and/or prizes in
the form of bronze, silver and gold medals, cash or book prizes, scholarships, as well as certificates. Should you require detailed
information please contact the Faculty Office on the Mezzanine floor, in the TW Kambule Mathematical Sciences Building.
Completion Rules
To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Science, a student will be required to obtain a minimum
of 432 credits. A minimum of 144 of these credits must be obtained from level III and a minimum of 144
of these credits from level II. Courses must be selected from the list in 2.1.2.4 a) (Science courses) and, by
permission of the Senate, may include courses as specified in 2.1.2.4 b) from another faculty. A minimum
of 72 of the 144 credits must be derived from any approved science major at level III (selected from the
list in 2.1.2.4 a).

Timetable
The timetable is made up of five slots, A, B, C, D and E. Each slot is allocated a certain time each day of the week. You may take only
one course on each slot, one on A or B or C and so on. All courses, which have been allocated the same slot, have their lectures given
while is why you cannot choose two courses on the same slot. Exceptions are courses such as Mathematical Statistics I and Actuarial
Sciences I, which are taught concurrently or courses, such as Computer Science I, which are split into four modules. Where courses
are offered on more than one slot (e.g. A or E) you must check that you select the option that avoids any clashes and that such a
combination of courses will be possible in later years of study.

Learn about environmental change, policy, systems, information systems and remote sensing: Teaching and research in Geography closely
engages with the southern African region while drawing on broad theoretical frameworks and global matters such as climate change, environmental
policy and development agendas. An under-graduate degree in Geography provides grounding in:
• Earth Systems - from climate studies and meteorology, to earth surface processes, to earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems.
• Environmental Change - from land degradation to environmental management.
• Environmental Policy - including global and national environmental agendas, shortfalls, and policy implementation.
• Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing - foundation courses in GIS and Remote Sensing are carried out in our GIS labs
during the second and third years of study.
• Human Society - looking at economic development, climate and society, cultural geography, food security and urban dynamics.
In addition to course work, research forms an important basis for learning in Geography. Students will embark on group fieldwork and independent
research and field trips take place throughout the programme.
Learn about the origins of humans and the evolution of the technology we use: New discoveries from archaeological sites in South Africa regularly
contribute paradigm changing information to the field leading to its global recognition. The South African archaeological record is particularly rich as it
covers a period of over two million years, from the first toolmakers to events of the recent past. Archaeology is a rich and dynamic course that grows
with each new discovery or advance in technology. As a prospective Archaeologist, amongst other things, you will learn about the origins of humans,
the evolution of technology from the Stone Age to the present and rock art. Fieldwork takes you to some of the best archaeological sites in South Africa.

The combined knowledge of theoretical principles, scientific facts and practical skills allows trained chemists to tackle a variety
of fundamental and applied problems. For example, their jobs may involve looking for new medicines from natural sources, creating
novel plastics in the laboratory, or predicting the environmental impact of industrial processes. Their specialised knowledge is crucial
for meeting the diverse and changing needs of society. As you can see, chemistry is far more than the study of the things commonly
referred to as “chemicals”! It trains you to think logically, analytically and creatively. The skills that you develop during your basic training
in chemistry will serve you well even if you intend moving into areas such as patent law, commerce, management and, of course,
teaching. It draws on the language of mathematics and the laws of physics to describe the world around us from a chemical, biological
and physical point of view. Chemistry plays a vital part in our understanding of the structure and the interactions of matter in the
universe.
