This
double degree is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and
understanding of the role of science and communication in society.
There is an increasing need for scientists to be able to communicate their work
and its importance to colleagues in other rapidly diverging fields, and to
grant-awarding bodies as well as to industry and the community in general,
there is also a need for people with specialised and flexible communication
skills to make science accessible to the general community.
Applicants will be required to have VCE or equivalent with at least a C average in English. Selection near the cut-off may take into account the following VCE subjects, biology, chemistry, information technology, mathematics and physics. A background in some of the above subjects will give more choice of first-level subjects. Please note that transition subjects are available for students wishing to major in a science discipline area for which they have insufficient background. Applicants may also be interviewed. The interview may be conducted as a face-to-face interview or via electronic communication. Applications from mature-age students will be assessed individually on the basis of educational and employment background.
