It is a very good idea to pick at least 1 science subject. Many courses
have it as a requirement. If you are interested in anything from the areas of
Engineering, Medicine, Physiotherapy, Radiography, Pharmacy or Nutrition, you will certainly
need to pick one, if not two science subjects. Students have a broad choice when it comes to Science subjects . They
can choose from Agricultural science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Physics/Chemistry* (this subject cannot be
taken with physics or chemistry).
Biology
Biology is by far the most popular of all the science subject followed
by Chemistry. It is a study of life and anyone considering Medicine, Nursing or Ecology will find Biology
invaluable.
