Introductory comments
This 3-year (minimum) full-time or part-time course is offered by the Faculty of Science
and Engineering and is available at Hobart. The first year is also offered at Launceston and
at the North-West Centre (limited number of subjects).
Admission & prerequisites
Minimum University entrance requirements and a satisfactory achievement (SA) in any
two of the following: *MT843 Mathematics Stage 3 (or *MT841 Mathematics Stage 2 or
*MT730 Mathematics Applied); *IF862 Computer Science; *CH856 Chemistry; *GL876
Geology; *GG833 Geography (or *EV846 Environmental Science); *PH866 Physics; *BY826
Biology; *SC786 Applied Science-Physical Sciences (if neither Physics nor Chemistry
counted) OR a TCE score of 80 or more for applicants not having two of the preceding
TCE units. Subject (unit) prerequisites also apply.
Course objectives
The course aims to:
•
provide students with opportunities to acquire knowledge, attitudes and skills in a
range of basic physical, computational, mathematical, earth and life sciences;
•
introduce students to scientific method through a range of disciplines;
•
•
provide graduates with advanced knowledge in one or more of the science
disciplines; and
meet the needs of industry, business and government agencies.

Graduates of the BSc are eligible for membership of a number of professional
organisations. Specific details are provided under individual discipline entries.
Course structure
In order to gain the award of Bachelor of Science students must gain 300% from Schedule
A provided that:
•
at least 75% is from Group 1 units listed in Schedule B which includes combinations
of 25% as determined by three different subject areas (students can study 50% from
mathematics to satisfy two 25% requirements from two areas);
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
at least 100% and not more than 125% is from units in Groups 1 and 1A;
not more than 25% is from Group 1A units;
at least 75% is from Group 2 units listed in Schedule B which must include 25% from
two different subject areas (students can study 50% from mathemtics to satisfy this
requirement);
not more than 50% is from Group 2 and Group 2A units offered by any subject area
as defined in Schedule A;
not more than 25% is from Group 2A units;
at least 75% is from units listed as Groups 3 and 3A;
50% which consists of full passes from Group 3 units listed in Schedule B as
determined by one subject area is completed;
not more than 50% is from units listed as Group 3A; and
not more than 37.5% is counted from units in which terminating passes have been
awarded.
In summary, students must gain 300%, studying at least 4 year-1 units to the value of
between 100% and 125%; year-2 units to the value of between 75% and 125%; and year-3
units to the value of between 75% and 125%. Year-3 majors are based on first and
second-year prerequisites. Certain prerequisites and core enrolments must be met. All
programs must include a minimum of three Group 1 core units and two Group 2 core
units as listed in Schedule B.
Articulation
A successful first year may lead to the five-year combined degrees with Law or
Engineering. Credit is possible for studies completed in some TAFE diplomas and in other
tertiary studies.
Majors
Candidates for the BSc can major (3 years of studies) in one or two of the following fields
of specialisation:
•
•
Biochemistry
Chemistry
•
Computer Science
•
•
•
Geography & Environmental Studies
Geology

Specimen courses
Candidates for the BSc can complete four-year specimen courses which are detailed in
Schedule C in the following fields of specialisation:
•
Economic Geology
•
Forest Ecology
•
Marine, Freshwater and Antarctic Biology
•
Natural Environment and Wilderness Management
Schedule C should be read in conjunction with Schedules A and B.
The Specimen Courses, which follow the Bachelor of Science Schedule C, detail a number
of three-year combinations. Many other combinations are possible. Students should note
that all specimen courses must meet the degree requirements of the BSc which are
summarised under ‘Course structure’.

Course Structure
Major code: KFE
In the first 3 years students need to pass course units to a total of 300 percent. This is achieved by a
mix of compulsory and optional units to a value of 100 percent in each year. The course coordinator
will assist with the planning of the student’s course. A special unit (Plant Science Research
KPA378) will be offered to Forest Ecology students in third year. This will involve a series of
lectures presented by specialist foresters and a research project in one of the disciplines outlined.
Tutorials will be held for all Forest Ecology students near the middle of semesters 1 and 2
(students will be notified of timing). These will provide an opportunity for students to
discuss the course and new developments in Forestry in Australia.

Course code for fourth year: S4J
Unit enrolment codes:
KPA460 Forest Ecology (Honours) Full time;
KPA461 Forest Ecology (Honours) Part time.
Students who have completed a BSc and have satisfied the course prerequisites will be
permitted to enrol in Honours in Forest Ecology provided they have achieved an adequate
standard, normally at least 50% in third year units, and a suitable project and supervisor
are available.
The fourth year of the course, the ‘Honours year’, includes the following main
components:
1. A research project of 9 months duration. This would normally be carried out in the
School of Plant Science but after consultation with the course coordinator may be carried
out in other Schools such as Zoology, Agricultural Science, Geography and Environmental
Studies or Mathematics and Physics. Where appropriate, scientists from outside the
University may act as co-supervisors, especially if the project necessitates work being
undertaken in laboratories of other institutions.
2. A reading thesis based on a literature-based review or other coursework as appropriate.
3. Attendance at seminars given by research scientists working in the field (Plant Science
and CRC seminars).
[a] Geology 1 and Agricultural Geology & Soil Science are mutually exclusive because
of overlap in subject matter

Schedule C 4. Economic Geology
Major code: KEE
The Economic Geology specimen course aims to:
•
provide students with training in ore deposit geology, genesis and exploration
techniques;
•
provide graduates with advanced knowledge of hydrothermal ore deposits;
•
meet the needs of the minerals industry and government agencies;
•
provide students to continue into MSc & PhD courses in the Centre for Ore Deposit
Research (CODES SRC).
The Economic Geology specimen course is accredited by the Australian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy (AusIMM) as required training for geoscientists working in the Australian
Minerals Industry.
Course structure
In the first three years of the course students need to pass units to a total value of 300%.
This is achieved by taking a mix of compulsory and optional units to a value of 100% in
each year, as detailed below.
