Introductory comments
This 3-year (minimum) full-time or part-time course is offered by the Faculty of Science,
Engineering and Technology and is available at Hobart and Launceston (first year and a
number of majors). The first year is also offered at the North-West Centre (limited number
of subjects). The main intake to the Bachelor of Science is February, however a mid-year
intake in July is also available.
Admission & prerequisites
Minimum University entrance requirements. Students are encouraged to study some of
the following subjects: *MT843 Mathematics Stage 3; *MT841 Mathematics Stage 2; *MT730
Mathematics Applied; *IF862 Computer Science; *CH856 Chemistry; *GL876 Geology;
*GG833 Geography; *EV846 Environmental Science; *PH866 Physics; *BY826 Biology;
*SC786 Applied Science-Physical Sciences. Subject (unit) prerequisites also apply.
Alternatively, students who successfully complete either KMA003 Mathematics Enabling
Unit or KRA001 Chemistry Enabling Unit in the Science Enabling Course will qualify for entry
to the Bachelor of Science.
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.
Career outcomes
Graduates of the Bachelor of Science can expect to find employment in a wide variety of
positions. Please refer to the following discipline entries for more specific information:

Professional recognition
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 A which must include 25% from
two different subject areas (students can study 50% from mathemtics to satisfy this
requirement) as defined in Schedule B;
•
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;
•
at least 50% is from units in Group 3, listed in Schedule A;
•
50% which consists of full passes from Group 3 and Group 3A 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

Bachelor of Science
•
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 degree with Law. Credit is
possible for studies completed in some TAFE diplomas and in other tertiary studies.

of specialisation:
•
Aquaculture
•
Biochemistry
•
Chemistry
•

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).

KEA101 & KEA102 are mutually exclusive with KLA213 because of overlap in subject matter

Course code for fourth year: S4K
Unit enrolment codes:
KZA450 Marine, Freshwater and Antarctic Biology (Honours) Full time
KZA451 Marine, Freshwater and Antarctic Biology (Honours) Part time
The fourth (Honours) year of the course, includes the following main components:
•
Directed studies which may involve work experience in a research laboratory outside the University;
•
Reading project, in which students will carry out a literature-based review and prepare a critical
appraisal in the form of a dissertation; and
•
A research project of about six months duration which is supervised by a member of the University
staff. 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.
Schedule C 3. Natural Environment and Wilderness
Management
Course Structure
Major code: KNE
The course is necessarily multidisciplinary; involving the following components:
1
Ecosystem pattern and process;
2
Ecosystem and wilderness management;
3
Cultural heritage management in natural areas;
4
People management in natural areas;
5
Natural area ecological engineering – track and road construction, waste
management, water management;
6

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).
