Course code: 3516 + Off-campus (Gippsland) + Full fees apply (some Commonwealth-supported [HECS] place available) + Fees will be charged on a pro-rata basis on the same fee scale as the Bachelor of Science course + Attendance is compulsory for some laboratory-based units
The course offers graduates an opportunity to undertake
additional studies in one specialist area of science up to third-year
undergraduate level, through the completion of a 48-point major sequence in a
science discipline. The specific units to be taken towards a major sequence are
those described for each science discipline that is available as a major
sequence towards the Bachelor of Science.
The course aims to provide students with a detailed level of understanding of
one specialised area of contemporary science up to third-year undergraduate
level and, where appropriate to that discipline, competence in the use of
information technology, data handling, laboratory skills, communication skills
and team work.
Students are normally expected to pass all prerequisite units before proceeding
to studies at the next level, and the normal academic progress requirements for
undergraduate science courses apply.
Entry is open to students who have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline. Selection will be based on academic merit, in particular achievement in the final year of undergraduate study.
Students with previous studies in the discipline to be undertaken, or who have been assessed and approved for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), may be granted credit up to a maximum of 24 points of relevant science units, provided those studies were completed within the last 10 years. The normal faculty RPL policies and procedures apply to this course.
Please refer to the Bachelor of Science entry in this guide.
The normal time for completion of the certificate is three years part-time, with one unit taken in both the first and second semesters of the first two years and two units taken in each semester of the third year. More than one unit may be taken in any semester if those units are available and all prerequisite requirements have been completed.
As for the Bachelor of Science entry in this guide.
Students are strongly advised to consult a course adviser when planning their study program as this will depend on what major study is selected.
Please refer to the Bachelor of Science entry in this guide.
