Course Overview:	The Bachelor of Science course is designed to provide excellent science education across a broad range of science and technology areas of study and equip students with a range of knowledge and skills to enhance their science studies. The degree will provide flexible pathways to employment, research higher degrees and many professional postgraduate programs.
Objectives:	The Bachelor of Science has the objective of preparing graduates who embody the University of Melbourne graduate attributes, as well as additional attributes more specific to the BSc. These BSc-specific attributes are incorporated into the University graduate attributes summary (see 'Graduate Attributes') and are indicated in italics.
Course Structure & Available Subjects:	A minimum (and maximum) of 300 course points is required, comprising: 225 points of science subjects; 75 points of breadth subjects; between 75 and 125 points at first year level across both components; at least 75 points at third year level across both components. All subjects attracting science points in the BSc are indicated as such within the individual subject description. Note that in the case of the study area of History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), students who seek to undertake further subjects in order to complete the equivalent of a major in HPS will be permitted to take up to 25 points of additional breadth study in HPS, replacing 25 points of the Science requirements of the BSc. These students will be required to satisfy all other completion requirements of the BSc. Science requirements (225 points) between 62.5 and 100 points at first year level; Student must complete first year level subjects from at least two different areas of study. A maximum of 37.5 points at first year level from any single area of study may be completed. The areas of study available are: Biology; Chemistry; Earth Sciences; Engineering Systems; Geography and Environments; Informatics; Mathematics and Statistics; Physics; Psychology; Vision Sciences. at least 125 points at second/third year level; completion of 50 points of a prescribed science major at third year level. Note that subjects that contribute to the science requirements include third year level subjects in the prescribed majors together with first year level and second year level prerequisite sequences for the subjects in the majors. Breadth requirements (75 points) between 12.5 and 37.5 points at first year level; at least 12.5 points at third year level. Note that: at least 50 science points at first year level must be completed before proceeding to second year level science subjects; there are no specified second year level requirements; students considering applying for the Master of Science or Bachelor of Science (Degree with Honours) from 2011 should complete at least 62.5 points of third year level science subjects to maximise their Science Honours Score. additional information on the breadth component is available on the BSc course website and from the main page of this Handbook.
Majors/ Minors/ Specialisations	Completion of 50 points of study at third year level. A number of these science majors include specialisations. Descriptions of the specialisations are located within the majors. Majors/Minors/Specialisations: Agricultural Science Animal Health and Disease Atmosphere and Ocean Science Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Bioengineering Systems Biotechnology Cell and Developmental Biology Chemical Systems Chemistry Civil Systems Computer Science Domestic Animal Science Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Electrical Systems Environmental Science Food Science Genetics Geography Geology Geomatics Human Structure and Function Marine Biology Mathematical Physics Mathematics and Statistics Mechanical Systems Microbiology, Infection and Immunology Neuroscience Pathology Pharmacology Physics Physiology Plant Science Psychology Science Informatics Software Systems Zoology
