The course aims 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.
Students are required to complete 96 points from the Faculty of Science and 108 points from the Faculty of Business and Economics. Within the science component, students may not complete more than 36 points of level-one units and overall must complete at least 24 points of level-three science units.
Students
must complete all of the following:
(a) six compulsory introductory six-point units, one in each of the following
business disciplines:
Note that students who complete the science unit STA1010
will be exempted from the compulsory unit ETW1102 (Business statistics),
thereby reducing the total course requirement from 204 points to 198 points.
(b) 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) 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) two six-point science core units: STA1010 at level one and SCI2010 at level
two.
(e) two science sequences (excluding computing) consisting of a major sequence
in one area of study and a minor sequence in a different area of study.
(f) one six-point level-one science unit from an area of study other than those
studied under part (e).
Science sequences are available in the following areas of study (consult the
section `Science areas of study and sequences offered' for the Gippsland campus
for details): applied biochemistry, applied statistics (minor only), applied
chemistry, applied microbiology, mathematics and modelling, human physiology
(minor only), psychology, and environmental science and resource management.
The maximum time for completion of the course is 10 years, including
intermissions.
Students who wish to graduate with a Bachelor of Science, or undertake honours
in science, prior to the completion of the BSc/BBusCom course must have
completed at least 144 points of studies including all of the science
requirements for the course.
