Bachelor of Science


General information

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.
