All prescribed subjects must be successfully completed for award of a degree. Students having difficulty devising a program should consult the Student Administrative Officer or an academic adviser. Contact details of all course directors are listed at the end of the entry for each course. In most cases this will involve spending up to 12 months working in a relevant industry. This experience will normally be gained prior to completing the academic requirements of the course and will earn the student extra academic credit which will be recognised by the award of a Diploma in Scientific Practice.

General structure of the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Medical Science courses In 1997, the structures of all undergraduate courses except the Bachelor of Health Science courses were extensively revised with the aim of increasing the study options available to students. Details of some second majors offered by the Faculty of Science and other parts of the University are available. The Science Education program is intended to prepare students for a career in secondary school science education. In addition to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Medical Science program students complete a Graduate Diploma in Education, which consists of two semesters of study. Admission Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Medical Science program may apply to enter the Graduate Diploma in Education after the completion of at least 96 credit points of study.
