Introduction
This guide is a tool for staff and students to use when planning a Bachelor of Science. The guide shows multiple options for each of the Bachelor of Science majors with different focuses within the major and subjects that complement the major. The guide can be used to determine first semester subjects according to a student’s secondary qualifications and map pre-requisite subjects that lead to a major.
Key terms Major core – a compulsory subject in a major.
Major selective - subjects within the major which are selected from a list. These may be from a core or elective list, but do not include any subject that is compulsory.
Major core pre-requisite – a pre-requisite for a compulsory subject in a major.
Major selective pre-requisite - – a pre-requisite for a selective subject in a major.
Focus/Specialisation – used to describe a set of elective subjects within a major that focus on a particular aspect of that discipline.
Complementary sequence – a recommended sequence of subjects taken outside of the major and subjects leading to the major.

*Both specialisations can be completed within 3 years full time via the mid-year intake; however students will need to take some second year subjects within the second semester of their first year. Students must first complete 50 points of level 1 study before enrolling into level 2.
*International students on a student visa are required to study 50 credit points per half year to meet visa requirements, and therefore commencing this major with mid-year entry may not be suitable. Please note that both specialisations can be completed within 3 years full time via the mid-year intake; however, students will need to take some second-year subjects within the second semester of their first year. Students must first complete 50 points of level 1 study before enrolling into level 2.
