Units totalling 50 credit points selected from the list of available units detailed below:
The following streams are provided as a guide for selecting units that align with your future study or career orientation. Students may choose all their specialist electives from a single discipline area or take a mix of specialist electives across a number of science discipline areas. When selecting specialist electives, choose units at a suitable level. The first number in each unit code indicates the year level at which the subject is taught. Undergraduate units are coded at 100 to 300 level, therefore units coded as SBI1xx, SBI2xx and SBI3xx would be first, second and third year units respectively. Many second and third units have assumed knowledge and pre-requisite requirements. Students without any previous university level study typically take 100 level/first year units matching one of the streams in Group A. Group A Units (50cp) The following Group A streams are recommended for students without a previous Bachelor degree who may in future transfer to the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Environmental Science.
