jc254 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 well. You dont need to do 7th form. Go to uni tec and do the captive wild course, this take a year. Then go to uni and take a degree is science with a biology major. This is what i recommend, 7th form is a big waste of time and 1st year bio is easy and i didn't go to 7th form bio class. Uni is getting harder to get into so make sure your 6th form results are good M and E will help. if you dont you may need to do CUP which is a uni entrance paper. I do marine biology so hit me up if you need a hand with course selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny walker Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 cool thanks for that but i havent taken biolgy this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Zoology requires Biology (of course), physics (animal structure or something) and stats. Check out uni sites for more info, thought about this course but not too flash at physics. My info is for a Uni major though.well. You dont need to do 7th form. 7th form is a big waste of time and 1st year bio is easy and i didn't go to 7th form bio class. 7th form year is the best school year out! so many more privileges, good times and mates - do 7th form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I know you at Massey in Palmy i think alot of the BSc's to do with thuis type of thing, eg zoology, Ecology... you need bio and chem, math and english and only a few papers need physics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc254 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 most unis don't have any pres for bio, i know they do for chem and physics. However don't let them stop you from taking a paper. I only did 5th form maths and i now take it at uni without meeting the required entrance. Just got to do a little extra work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Auckland Uni is holding Courses and Careers Day soon - you should be able to get some more info on degrees etc there. The other institutions probably will have theirs at a similar time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
