Bachelor of arts/sciences according to 2006 (not 2007) uac guide...they do languages but theyre more language and cultural studies combined i think, and if you major in a language you can also major in government and international relations. As for science, you can also do both psychology and neuroscience. So the degree exists, but i think to do govt + international relations as a major you ahve to have another major cos its listed in two parts. But you can probly just study them and not major in it. And the uai for it in 2006 was 70.00. Surprisingly achievable. hope that helps :)

thanks for the help i really appreciate it! :D just one thing- in the link that was posted i didnt see government and international relations under the arts subjects...i know its from the economics faculty so am i right in assuming that you can chose majors from other faculties to complete the degree?

I think I'll transfer to BSc/BA at the end of the year...education just isn't doing it for me atm.

No one forces you to complete the Arts component once you've got the BSc.

In most degrees honours is an extra year, so if you want to do a combined degree with honours it'll take six years.

The exception is Law, in which honours are awarded based on your marks.

could u take B Med Sci/Arts? Sounds like you'd like that more with the neuro stuff.

Or you could apply for an Arts/MBBS. Make sure you register for the UMAT.
