Bachelor of Science
Assessment (Internat.)
Assignments, group work and exams
Outline
The Bachelor of Science is designed for students with diverse educational backgrounds and an interest in science. The Bachelor of Science provides a state-of-the–art foundation in modern scientific principles and theories with a stream of units touching on all the major science disciplines. Maximum flexibility allows students to design their own major and minor streams. Students choose from an extensive range of subjects in established, newly emerging, general and specialist sciences, all of which are underpinned by scientific research. The course emphasizes and develops scientific communication, logical thinking, practical skills, analytical talent and above all a curiosity. The Bachelor of Science provides a strong basis in the fundamentals of science but still includes a large practical component often delivered in small laboratory classes – the ideal environment to get the most out of science.
Career Opportunities
This degree can take you anywhere. As a science graduate, your employment opportunities and career aspirations are vast with career opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Dependant on your combination of chosen units, you could look to careers in: Medical Science, Biostatistics, Geology, Environmental Management, Analytical laboratories, Computer support, Psychology, Health, Environmental Planning, Field Assistant, Consultancy or Research to name a few. Science graduates are also finding their skills in demand in non-science areas such as marketing, education, administration or business management.
RPL and Credit Transfer
International students wishing to apply for RPL and Credit Transfer are required to provide syllabus of previous study undertaken at time of applying for course. Not all courses offer RPL and Credit Transfer. Contact the International Student Programs office at international@ballarat.edu.au
Objectives
The Bachelor of Science will provide and enhance a student's ability to think logically, approach problems analytically and will appeal to individuals with a curious mind and an interest in practical skill development. The knowledge, skills and values embedded in the course are appropriate for effective scientific investigation and communication a variety of careers.
The extensive range of career options available to BSc graduates is matched by the diversity inherent in the degree. The Bachelor of Science is flexible and allows students to choose subjects to suit individual strengths and abilities.
The educational objectives of the Bachelor of are to ensure that each graduate exemplifies:
The technical ability to apply scientific knowledge to the analysis of contemporary problems and environments
The intellectual breadth of a liberal scientific education and an ensuing ability to practice scientific reasoning creatively, sensitively, and responsibly in the global environment
The intellectual depth to engage in a higher level of understanding in a major stream od scientific knowledge
The inclination to intellectual couriosity and a desire for perpetual learning, together with their application to the maintenance of professional currency
The ability to communicate competently in oral and written modes, and to function productively on multicultural ans multidisciplinary teams
The desire and ability to ensure the ethical and professional use of scientific reasoning and outputs
Requirements
Although the course is designed for maximum flexibility and hence will enable students interested in Science to design their own course, four components must be completed: Core, Major, Minor and Professional Development (as below).
Core: Introductory units are to be completed by all students in the Bachelor of Science during the first two years of their course. Core Units are Chemistry, Cell Biology, Earth Sciences, Physics and Calculus, Statistical Methods, Occupational Heath and Safety.
Major: Majors (6 x 15 credit point units) will be chosen from Biochemistry, Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Studies, Geosciences, Microbiology, Technology, Occupational Health and Safety, Information Technology and Psychology. Students are encourage to develop their own themes with in the confined of availability and prerequisites. Consultation with the course co-ordinator is encouraged to enable best course design from existing units.
Minor: Minors (4 x 15 credit point units) will be offered in all streams listed as majors and also in Physics, Statistics and Health. Students who wish to specialize may choose their major and minor from the same stream, Students are encourage to develop their own themes within the confined of availability and prerequisites. Consultation with the course co-ordinator is encouraged to enable best course design from existing units.
Professional Development: This stream of units (8 x 15 credit point units) is intended to provide breadth to the course of study. After consultation with the course co-ordinator, units will be chosen from Education, Foreign Language, Applied Science, Biomedical Science, Business, Management or other appropriate discipline.
Mode of Study: A mixture of modes is envisaged including traditional, online and block.
International students must meet the following basic entry requirements (see below):· Academic entry requirements
· English language entry requirements
· At least 18 years of age at the time of the student’s proposed commencement of studies at the university
