Recommended stream specific structures are as outlined in full program documentation in Attachment 2. The streams are for advice only to allow students to maximise credit transfer to ANU, and therefore will not be built on Banner. However, students should note that to complete the ‘Resource and Environmental Management Stream' they must choose their electives from the following group of subjects:
ANUQ 102 | Anatomy and Physiology |
ANUQ 112 | Biochemistry (not to count with the ANU subject |
ANUQ 126 | Forensic Botany - not offered. Substitute: tba |
ANUQ 116 | Scientific Computing Applications |
ANUQ 111 | Chemistry |
ANUQ 247 | Molecular Genetics and DNA Analysis |
ANUQ 143 | Research Methodology OR |
ANUQ 135 | GIS Project (not to count both) |
