This program provides specialized skills and practical knowledge for professional careers in the biological, clinical, chemical, computing, physical, mathematical, and environmental sciences and policy. Students choose from a range of majors in accordance with their career plans. Students may undertake laboratory work or fieldwork, depending on the study areas selected. In the final year, students can undertake capstone projects and participate in industry internships to provide employment-relevant experience. Students are required to select at least one major in their first semester of study. Students may choose to complete two majors if that best suits their study and career goals, but should be aware that some required courses may clash with others and hence may need to be taken out of sequence. Applied Mathematics: This major will develop theoretical and applied mathematical skills, with an emphasis on mathematics relevant to the physical, biological and environmental sciences. Aquatic Ecosystems: The focus of this major is to understand the dynamic catchment processes and ecology of inland waterways, which is essential in managing these resources sustainably for future generations. Students will be equipped for careers in government, the water industry, in ecosystem monitoring and in catchment management. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: The interface between biology and chemistry is one of the most rapidly developing areas of science, making critical contributions to human health and the societies in which we live. By studying this major, Students will have the opportunity to contribute to developments in fields such as food security, remediation of contaminated sites and bio-fuels. Chemistry: Chemistry provides strong linkages to all physical, natural and life science disciplines. This major offers specializations in environmental-analytical and medicinal chemistry, which provide a great choice of career paths in growth areas such as water quality and drug discovery. The quantitative and problem-solving skills of graduate chemists are highly transferable and valued by a diverse range of employers. Clinical Science: This major focuses on the scientific disciplines and approaches that underpin clinical practice. This course provides students with specialized knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pathology, as well as scientific techniques to assess levels of health or disease. Students will have career options in clinical practice, a major area of growth, and clinical research, which develops new treatments. Computational Science: This major offers a new kind of computing education one where students not only learn how technology works, but also what it can accomplish. Environmental Science: Environmental science is multi-disciplinary, requiring a broad-based knowledge of chemistry, biology, maths, earth sciences and statistics. Students will gain vocational skills in environmental monitoring, assessment, and how to apply the ever-changing environmental regulations, opening up a wide range of career opportunities in government departments, consultancies, waste management, mining and resource industries. Environmental Sustainability: In this major, Students will study and investigate key issues in biodiversity, land and water sustainability, renewable energy, energy conservation, carbon capture and emission management, sustainable building design, urban planning, public health and well-being, economic development, triple bottom line analysis, and environmental, national and international treaty law. Microbiology: This major will provide students with a solid understanding of the concepts, principles and techniques in the rapidly advancing area of microbiology. Students will be introduced to the fundamental biology of bacteria and viruses, and their impact on microbial diseases, environmental and applied microbiology. These skills are used in a diverse range of careers from food technology to clinical and environmental health. Physics: This major explores the broader areas of physics, mathematical sciences and nano-materials, while covering the theoretical physics of quantum theory and cosmology through to applied fields such as meteorology and fluid dynamics. Students will gain quantitative and problem-solving skills that are valued by a diverse range of employers, including those in education, construction, medical imaging, private industry and research organizations. Wildlife Biology: Our wildlife biology major will provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of terrestrial biodiversity and ecology, incorporating fundamental zoology and botany.
