Description
Objectives
Structure
Campus attendance
The course is structured to minimise inter-campus commuting. Students complete the common Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science level one program at Parkville before undertaking a compressed selection of common level one units and level two chemical engineering units at Clayton. At level three, the students return to Parkville campus to complete the core formulation science level two and three units. In the final two levels at Clayton students complete higher level chemical engineering units and the biotechnology stream. This program is only available to students pursuing the chemical engineering branch of the engineering component of the double-degree.
The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.
Variations in the course structure
The exact combination of engineering units depends on the student's prerequisite background on admission and whether any foundation units in mathematics or physics are required. The engineering component of the degree (levels two, four and five) therefore varies slightly depending on whether the student has completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Physics 3/4 and/or Specialist mathematics or their equivalents.
Students complete one of the four course structures detailed below depending on their previous studies:
- course structure 1 is for students who have completed Specialist mathematics 3/4 but who have not completed VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent
- course structure 2 is for students who have completed VCE Physics 3/4 but who have not completed VCE Specialist mathematics 3/4 or the equivalent
- course structure 3 is for students who have not completed Specialist mathematics 3/4 and VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent
- course structure 4 is for students who have completed both VCE Specialist mathematics 3/4 and VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent.
The pharmacy component of the degree (levels one and three) is common to all students.
Requirements
Students require a total of 240 points, comprising144 points of engineering units and 96 points of pharmacy units.
