• the entry under the Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering in the University handbook
• the Faculty's web site (Rules & Regulations)

What does the test involve?

You will be given a choice of several essay topics that are related in a very general way to scientific material. You must write a formal academic essay to do well on one of these topics. The markers are looking for a grammatically coherent essay that presents an argument with evidence to support the points.
