General information

This section details the science discipline sequences (major or minor) offered by the School of Applied Sciences towards the Bachelor of Science, Gippsland. Some sequences and individual subjects are also offered by flexible delivery on the Berwick campus. Most subjects are also available by distance education (in some cases in alternative years). Further information can be found in the Distance Education handbook.
