Students entering one of the four specialist degrees with a UAI of at least 90 are eligible to enrol in the Advanced Program for these degrees. For details refer to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Advanced.
The specialist degrees are structured differently to the Bachelor of Science. They are comprised of prescribed subjects with very few elective subjects. In the four-year degree there is special coursework in the 4th year which is not available in other degrees as well as an Honours research project. Honours is awarded on completion of the 4th year on academic performance assessed by calculating a weighted average mark for specified 300-level and 400-level subjects. For the three-year Bachelor of Marine Science, a seperate Honours research year is available after completion of the three years of coursework.
Double Degrees:
All students enrolled in Faculty of Science degrees should note that:
- they must satisfy the minimum mathematics requirement for all degrees offered by the Faculty of Science as set out in the Course Rules;
- a Pass or Pass Conceded grade (not a Pass Restricted grade) is required in a pre-requisite subject to progress to a higher level subject in disciplines within the Faculty of Science unless that pre-requisite is waived by a Head of the Academic Unit for a particular student in special circumstances;
- a Pass Conceded grade in a 300-level subject forming part of a Science major may not be counted towards the completion of the major. Students may obtain a copy of the Science Students' Guide from the Faculty Office, 41.258.
Please note that course and subject availability and requirements are often changed after the publication of the Calendar. For up-to-date information please refer to the on-line Course Structures and Subject Database, available from http://www.uow.edu.au/handbook/, or contact the relevant Faculty.
