Subject selection information sessions
Most of the Faculty of Science teaching departments will be hosting information sessions where they will provide course advice and detailed question and answer sessions about subject selection.
In some cases, departments are also offering students the opportunity to meet with an academic member of staff to discuss their subject choices.
When are the 2007 subject selection information sessions?
Course information week will be held from Monday 2 - Friday 6 October 2006. All departments teaching majors are holding Subject Selection information sessions, with the following exceptions:
- Biotechnology
- Environmental Science
- Anthropology, Geography and Environmental Studies (Geography major)
- Behavioral Sciences (Psychology major)
- History and Philosophy of Science
Please note that Mathematics and Statistics will be holding their information session in the following week on Tuesday 10 October (details below).
