Science (Specialisations)

The Bachelor of Science (Specialisations) requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).The course is structured around coherent programs of study from First Year to Third Year, leading to a recognised Specialisation.Admission to an honours program may be offered to a student who meets certain academic criteria and subject to the College being able to provide appropriate resources and staff to supervise the program of study.The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.

To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Specialisations), a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic as per one specialisation program of study below.

Bachelor of Science (Animal Behaviour) Bachelor of Science (Biodiversity and Conservation) Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) Bachelor of Science (Chemical Sciences) Bachelor of Science (Coasts and Oceans) Bachelor of Science (Energy and Advanced Materials) Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science) Bachelor of Science (Forensic and Analytical Science) Bachelor of Science (Geography) - No further student intake Bachelor of Science (Hydrology) - No further student intake Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology) Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology and Aquaculture) Bachelor of Science (Molecular Biosciences) Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) Bachelor of Science (Palaeontology) Bachelor of Science (Physics)

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.

Prerequisites and assumed knowledge for Specialisations:

There are no formal prerequisites for the specialisation in Biodiversity and Conservation but a knowledge of Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry to SACE Stage 1 is desirable.

Successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry or the equivalent is required for entry to the specialisation in Forensic and Analytical Science.

There are no formal prerequisites for the specialisations in Marine Biology, and Marine Biology and Aquaculture, but knowledge of Mathematics and/or Physics to SACE Stage 1 is desirable.

Successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry, Physics and Mathematical Methods or the equivalent are required for entry to the specialisation in Nanotechnology (Quantum Nanostructures stream), while successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry only will allow entry into the specialisation in Nanotechnology (Biomedical Nanotechnology stream).

Successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Physics and Mathematical Methods or the equivalent is assumed for the specialisations in Physics and Energy and Advanced Materials.

There are no prerequisites or assumed knowledge for the other specialisations.
