The course aims to provide a broad, general science education, equipping graduates for employment in both the public and corporate sectors where the emphasis is on generic skills, which include numeracy, data analysis and presentation skills, and the capacity to work in teams. Graduates will also have specialist training in one or more science disciplines, with the potential for honours and postgraduate study, leading to employment opportunities in any of the traditional careers for scientists.
Students must complete a minor and major sequence in science towards the course, along with a specified number and type of science electives, two core units in science and up to 48 points of non-science electives.
