Learning outcomes

1. Integrate and apply coherent in-depth knowledge and skills from a scientific discipline.
2. Apply sophisticated knowledge of scientific principles, theory and practice, technical skills and foundational quantitative methods, to independently analyse, research and creatively solve complex problems.
3. Integrate scientific knowledge and skills into practice through working collaboratively on industry- and research-related projects, and effectively communicating scientific concepts in multiple modes to a range of audiences.
4. Identify ethical issues as they arise in scientific work and adhere to professional ethical standards when undertaking this work, determining the potential impact on others and the planet, including Indigenous, inter-cultural and environmental contexts.
5. Identify the range of career paths available to science graduates and demonstrate related professional skills and attributes, including career literacy, personal accountability, use of digital communication and technologies, independent learning and critical evaluation.
6. Carry out research in your selected discipline(s) by designing and implementing projects, writing scientific reports and presenting results and conclusions to a research-focused audience.
7. Each specialisation will expand/contextualise these CLOs with its own set of Learning Outcomes.
