Back to topDescription (click to hide)

This program is available only to students who commenced the Bachelor of Science at Ourimbah prior to 2005. New students interested in studying Science and students who commenced in 2005 and beyond should refer to the Bachelor of Science file (covering both Callaghan and Ourimbah campuses).

This degree gives students the basic skills and knowledge to contribute to scientific development in many areas of technology, industry agriculture or the information revolution.

It can be a foundation for a career in the vast field of Science, or an excellent general education providing skills in problem solving and research.

A science degree can be generalist and vocational at the same time. Universities have offered science degrees for centuries, yet they remain fashionable, useful and exciting.

Back to topCareer Opportunities (click to hide)

Marine Scientists are employed by Local government (city and shire councils), State government (catchment committees, Fisheries, EPA, marine parks), Federal government Environment Australia CSIRO, private and industry consultants, universities and organisations with marine and estuarine interests.

Those who specialise in Sustainable Resource Management can find emplyment in Federal and State government departments (national parks and wildlife, land and water management, agriculture, EPA, public works and forestry), in Local government (strategic planning groups, sustainability, development control, land and water management); in private industry (as a consultant on environmental and sustainable resource matters); in non-government organisations; and in research organisations such as agriculture, forestry, livestock and soil management.

A Science degree followed by studies in Education may lead to a career in teaching.

Back to topStudy a language (click to hide)

All students can now enrol in an undergraduate Diploma in Languages alongside their main degree program. This diploma will enhance proficiency in another language or languages, and will increase international career opportunities. Subject to course availability, this additional program will generally add an extra year to studies, and students will graduate with a Diploma in Languages as well as their other degree. Please note that all language courses are held on campus (face to face) at Callaghan.

Back to topRequirements and Structure

The degree is completed over three years of full-time study (or equivalent part-time) and requires students to pass courses totalling 240 units.

Full-time students undertake at least six science courses in their first year (60 units at 1000 level) selected from at least three Group A disciplines, such as Biological Sciences, Sport Science & Physical Activity, and Sustainable Resource Management. A further 20 units of courses are selected from the remaining Group A Science courses (Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology or approved Group B (listed below).

In each year, within each course area, there is a range of courses from which to choose. It is compulsory to undertake courses in at least one Science area for three years to achieve that is known as a Major Sequence. A Science student can major in two areas or concentrate on one area at 3000 level. A minimum of 60 units must be taken at 2000 level and at 3000 level.
