Program Requirements

You will need to complete a total of 144 units of courses of which no fewer than 96 units must be science courses*.

Your program must include:

Either a double science major (list of science majors)

Or two science majors (list of science majors)

And may not include more than 60 units of 1000 series courses and must include a minimum of 36 units Group C courses.

The maximum period for completion of the degree program is 10 years from the date of first enrolment in the program. The 10 years includes periods of leave.

*Science courses are designated and grouped by level:

• Group A indicates first year, 1000 series courses
• Group B indicates second year, 2000 series courses
• Group C indicates third and fourth year, 3000 series or 4000 series courses.

Group B courses may have prerequisites in Group A, and Group C courses may have prerequisites in Group B. Students are expected to obtain at least a grade of Pass in prerequisite courses. Prerequisites may be waived in special circumstances on the recommendation of the Head of Department/School concerned.

Science courses are courses offered by the Schools and Departments of the College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and College of Physical and Mathematical Science as well as some courses offered by the Department of Computer Science, Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science and the School of Finance, Actuarial Studies and Applied Statistics, Colleges of Business, Economics and CASS as listed in the College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences section under these Departments.

Students should consult the University of Canberra to choose elective courses for meeting the requirement for entry to the Graduate Diploma of Education.
