BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (434201, LBSC)

• 3 years full time (8 courses per year)
• 24 courses (4.5 units each)
• 3 courses per half year is a 75 load. This is
  considered by Centrelink to be fulltime.This is
  the minimum load for FPOS students.

First year enrolment

• Choose your 3 areas of study.
• You dont necessarily have to decide yet which
  will be your major.
• Enrol in the level 1 courses in your 3 areas,
  plus a Communication course and a Statistics
  course.
• Part time students have more flexibility.
• Variations are possible.

5
Majors and Minors

• The list of permissible Majors and Science Minors
  is at the LBSC web site.
• The second minor can be any of those offered by
  the University, plus others.
• Some combinations of major and minors are
  difficult to timetable.

Electives

• 2 electives must extend the Major and/or the
  Science Minor. (Both in the same area or one of
  each.)
• 2 electives can be in any area of Science (the
  definition has fuzzy edges).
• 2 electives must broaden the students learning.
  That is, they must be not science.
• If the second minor is not science, then the
  Broadening requirement is fulfilled, and the last
  2 electives can be anything.

Double Degree

• Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education
• 4 years full-time
• By substituting 6 core Education courses for the
  second minor and BUGE courses in LBSC, you can
  complete all requirements of both degrees in one
  extra year.

9
Double Degree

• Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education has a
• Science Major and a
• Science Minor, plus
• 4 or 5 Science electives, 2 of which must be
  extensions to the major/minor.
• The choice of Science Majors and Minors is the
  same as for LBSC.

There are a few tricks

• Some courses are listed in more than one major or
  minor. For example, Biological Science 100 and
  101 are in Biology, Nutrition and Applied
  Microbiology.
• Of course you cant count the same course twice,
  but you can choose to put such courses in
  whichever area suits you. This gives more
  flexibility.

11
Chemistry

• Chemistry 100 and Chemistry 101 assume knowledge
  of SACE Stage 2 (year 12) Chemistry.
• Chemistry in Life 100 and 101 do not. They can
  be used to prepare for Chem 100/101.
• Chemistry in Life 100/101 are adequate for
  studies in Nutrition and Microbiology, and are
  included in those majors/minors.
• Chemistry in Life 100/101 are essential for a
  Biology major. Chem 100/101 is better.

12
Nutrition

• Biological Science 100 and Human Physiology 1 are
  exclusive alternatives. They cannot both be
  counted in LBSC.
• Similarly, Biological Science 101 and Human
  Physiology 2 cannot both be counted.
• For most purposes, the Biology courses are
  probably better. The exception is if the degree
  includes a Human Movement minor.

13
Physics

• It is highly recommended that an Applied Physics
  major be supported by a Mathematics minor.

14
Psychology Minor

• Psychology may be used as the Science minor.
  This is particularly relevant to LBES students.
• Nevertheless, a minor in Psychology will fulfil
  the BUGE requirements of LBSC.
