Essentially, home science is a blend of science and art. It draws on many disciplines such as chemistry, physics, physiology, biology, hygiene, economics, rural development, child development, sociology and family relations, community living, art, food, nutrition, clothing, textiles and home management. The subject is largely scientific in nature, and hence required an analytical and scientific mindset.
The study of home science at the degree and postgrad levels begin after completion of Plus Two preferably with PCB (physics, chemistry and biology) or sociology, psychology and chemistry with an optional subject.
