Natural Sciences
Natural Sciences encompass the study of the physical world around us, including the disciplines of Computer and Data Science. Students studying natural sciences can expect to develop skills critical to addressing complex scientific challenges and preparing for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Some of these skills include:
- Understanding and applying the scientific process to conduct experiments, analyze data and draw conclusions
- Enhancing problem-solving skills through the application of scientific principles
- Fostering a deeper understanding of current scientific technology and its real-world applications.
