Science (Honours)

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) Specialisations requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).

The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.The course is structured around coherent programs of study from First Year to Fourth Year, leading to a recognised Specialisation.There is an alternative 1 year program for the Bachelor of Sciences (Honours) for students who have successfully completed a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science (Specialisations) .

To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Specialisations), a student must complete 144 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic as per one specialisation program of study below.

The name of the specialisation will appear on the parchment.

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

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Specialisations) may also be studied in a combined degrees program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.

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 level is desirable.

Successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry, Physics and Specialist Mathematics or 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 Specialist Mathematics or 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.
