This course enables students to tailor their science degree to their own areas of interest and career aspirations. The course offers flexibility and diversity by enabling students to study in different areas of science offered in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, as well as allowing students to integrate studies from a variety of areas outside of traditional science disciplines into their science degree.
Graduates are equipped to demonstrate and apply an understanding of their chosen areas of science, including concepts, theories and principles to practice in real situations. Students also become effective problem solvers able to think globally, apply logical and critical thinking, and to apply an understanding of scientific and technological factors and to consider issues from various cultural, economic and other societal perspectives.

Students Commencing in Summer SemesterStudy plans for 2011 are accurate as at 3 August 2010. The University reserves the right to make changes up until 1 October 2010. 2011 unit offering and fee information will be available from 1 October 2010. The Recommended Study Plan provided below is suitable for a student commencing in Summer Semester and enrolling in a standard full time load. Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.
When designing an individual study plan: ♦ ensure Common Units are completed in the first year of study; ♦ maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and ♦ check the assumed knowledge for each unit as some 200 and 300 level units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the subject area at a lower level. 200 level units have the unit code which includes a number starting with 200 i.e. SBI261.
An individual study plan is provided for each of the areas of specialisation. Elective units may be selected from any undergraduate higher education units on offer, in any discipline, however, some suggested electives have been included at the end of each specialisation table as a guide.
