Science areas of study and sequences - Sunway

The School of Science offers a number of major and minor sequences creditable to the Bachelor of Science; these are offered on the Sunway campus. Available studies range across the biotechnology, chemical, food science and technology and medical biosciences, together with genetics and tropical biology.

Students should consult individual unit* entries for details of prerequisites and scheduling. Some sequences include units with prerequisites that are not included in the sequence itself. Some upper-level units are offered every second year, but sequenced to allow completion of a major over three consecutive years. Also, some other units are offered in off-campus mode every second year only.

All units have a value of 6 points unless otherwise indicated. Some entries for a science area of study may refer students to an associated area of study; in these instances the reference is to the relevant area of study for the same campus.

For more information on the structure of sequences, such as the limitations on counting level two and three units for more than one sequence, refer to http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2011handbooks/undergrad/sci-01a.html.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references to desirable perquisite studies are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices.

* If specific units must be studied, in each science area of study they are referred to by the full unit code and title in the first instance and by their code only thereafter.
