Questions and Answers

What is the structure of the Natural Sciences Program at UCL?

  • It is an independent department within the Faculty of Life Sciences, focused on interdisciplinary studies.
  • It is run from a virtual department constituted in the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, reaching out across other faculties. (correct)
  • It operates as a standalone department with no connections to other faculties.
  • It is a joint program between the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Brain Sciences.

What is the expectation for students in the Natural Sciences Program regarding their performance in chosen streams?

  • Students are expected to perform at least as well as those studying single subjects alone in both major and minor streams. (correct)
  • Students are expected to perform at a higher level than those studying single subjects alone in their major stream.
  • Students are only expected to perform well in their major stream, with no specific expectations for their minor stream.
  • Students are not expected to perform as well as those studying single subjects alone in either major or minor streams.
