Course
code 2005 · Gippsland campus or distance education
The Bachelor of Science course normally requires three years full-time study or
the equivalent in part-time on-campus or distance education study (usually
about six years). In addition to the normal beginning-of-year entry, it is
possible to commence the course mid-year, with a reduced range of available
subjects.
Major studies may be chosen from the biological sciences (biochemistry and
microbiology), chemical sciences, resource-environmental management,
mathematics (including applied statistics), computing or psychology. The
flexible structure of the BSc makes it possible to complete two major studies
such as resource management and chemistry or mathematics and computing. The
course also provides for students to include some studies from such fields as
languages, business, economics, journalism and other humanities and social
sciences.
Two associated tagged BSc degrees, detailed separately, have particular career
focuses in areas of strength in the School of Applied Sciences. BSc students
may apply for entry to one of these tagged degrees at the end of their first
year of studies. Alternatively, students may continue in the general BSc
course, constructing their own study program within the flexible degree
structure.
