Course code 2012 + Gippsland campus or OCDL
This course has been designed to prepare students to work at a professional level in a scientifically oriented environment in which application of modern business techniques is required, or in a commercial environment in which a background in science, technology or information technology is desirable. The course involves four years of full-time study or the equivalent in part-time or OCDL study.

Course requirements

Units with a total credit value of at least 96 points from the Faculty of Science and 108 points from the Faculty of Business and Economics are to be completed, meeting the following requirements.
(a) Completion of six compulsory introductory six-point units, one in each of the following business disciplines:

Note that students who complete the science unit STA1010 (Statistical methods for science) will be exempted from the compulsory unit ETX1642 (Business mathematical sciences), thereby reducing the total course requirement from 204 points to 198 points.
(b) Completion of a business major of at least 48 points (eight units), including at least 12 points at each of levels two and three. (One core unit from part (a) may form part of the 48 points requirement.)
(c) Completion of at least 48 points of business units beyond level one, including at least 24 points at level three (the business major sequence meets part of this requirement).
(d) Completion of two six-point science core units: STA1010 (Statistical methods for science) at level one and SCI2010 (How science works) at level two.
(e) Completion of two science sequences (excluding computing) consisting of a major sequence in one field of study and a minor sequence in a second field of study.
(f) Completion of one six-point level-one science unit from a field of study other than those studied under part (e).
Science sequences are available in the following fields of study (consult the section 'Fields of study and sequences offered' for details): applied biology, applied statistics (minor only), applied chemistry, mathematics and modelling, human physiology (minor only), psychology, and resource and environmental management.
