However, simply defined, any subject with deals with the practical application of something comes under the category of science. The degree that one gets for pursuing sciences is that of Bsc or bachelors in sciences. In almost every university in the world, Bsc degrees in the field of sciences are offered. Some universities are good in one field, some in few while some excel in all. This article features those best science universities that have an excellent Bsc degree in general and are ranked as the best amongst the world.
History
When we talk about science or science subjects we have four categories of science subjects: Engineering and technology, Natural sciences, Life sciences and social sciences. Under engineering and technology come civil engineering, mechanical, aeronautical and chemical engineering, computer sciences and manufacturing technology. Under natural science come chemistry, mathematics, physics, marine sciences, metallurgy, environmental sciences and astronomy. Life sciences include: medicinal sciences, biological sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, pathology and psychology. Social sciences consist of subjects such as: sociology, accounting, finance, economics and political sciences. These are all subject of sciences for which a Bsc degree is given. All the best science universities in the world offer a major degree in all these subjects while the faculty and education level may vary from subject to subject. However most of all the good universities have a good department of sciences in general.
