Details

The BSc Life and Earth Sciences stream at UKZN (Pietermaritzburg and Westville) provides a broad foundation in biological, environmental, and earth sciences, allowing students to specialise in areas such as ecology, botany, zoology, geology, and environmental science during their studies. The three-year programme is designed for students who wish to explore the natural world and contribute to South Africa's biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, and environmental monitoring efforts. KwaZulu-Natal's rich ecological diversity — from the Drakensberg to the Indian Ocean coast — provides a living laboratory for field-based learning.
