Diploma in Science Fast Track

Western Sydney University

About

This course is designed to engage students in, and further prepare students for, tertiary study in science.

It presents students with first year level Bachelor of Science units and aims to produce students who are fully prepared for study beyond the first year of the Bachelor of Science degree.

It is delivered in a smaller, more supportive learning environment than usually found in first year undergraduate programs.Students who successfully complete the Diploma in Science Fast Track will articulate into Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science (Chemistry or Biological Sciences or Nutrition and Food or Forensic Science or Environmental Science or Zoology) or Bachelor of Medical Science (Medicinal Chemistry or Anatomy and Physiology or Biomedical Science) or Bachelor of Natural Science (Animal Science or Environmental Management) or Bachelor of Medical Science (Forensic Mortuary Practice) at Western Sydney University with up to one year equivalent of advanced standing (80 credit points).
