When you have decided which major(s) you want to study, you should enrol in the courses listed for Stage 1. In some majors there is only a small number of specified Stage 1 courses and you should choose additional courses to enrol in, such that you have a full program (24 units of credit per session). These additional courses (electives) may come from any available Level 1 courses from the subject areas within Table A or Table B.
Students who are unsure which major to choose may enrol in an 'undeclared plan'. The purpose of an undeclared plan is to cover a combination of Level I courses to enable a student to enter a variety of majors. Student are advised to choose a major before commencing Stage 2. Students who have completed Stage 1 should select specified courses listed for their major(s) in Stage 2 and Stage 3. Note that these are the minimum course requirements for majors and students may take additional courses in the same area provided they also complete a minor and General Education requirements.
1. Some of the courses listed in the late stages of a major may have prerequisites in an earlier stage or corequisites to be taken at the same time. It is important to check the course descriptions found in the rear of this Handbook for details.
2. Courses listed for Stage 1 are recommended courses. It is important to note that mant of these courses may be required as prerequisites for courses required for later stages. 3. Mathematics Courses: (a) Many courses in Mathematics are offered at two levels. The higher level courses cater for students with greater mathematical ability and/or a higher level or prior knowledge. Courses listed in Table A are all at the ordinary level. Students with suitable qualifications are encouraged to enrol in the corresponding higher level courses. In cases where there is a higher course, students should note that the proportion of Distinction and High Distinction grades is lower in the corresponding ordinary level course. (b) MATH2060 may be omitted from the Mathematics major if the professional education requirement is being met in the other discipline of a double major or double degree. (c) Students majoring in Mathematics are strongly recommended to take MATH2301 or an equivalent course in practical numerical computing. 4. Chemistry at Level I is offered at two levels. The higher level courses cater for students with greater chemical ability and/or a higher level of prior knowledge. Students with the required background are strongly encouraged to enrol in the higher level courses (CHEM1031 Higher Chemistry 1C and CHEM1041 Higher Chemistry 1D) 5. Students are advised that Mathematics or Physics courses totalling 6 units of credit are recommended for all programs. 6. BIOC2181 and BIOC2291 may be substituted for BIOC2101 and BIOC2201 respectively (but only with the permission of the Head of School). A minimum grade of Credit (65%) in BIOC2181 and BIOC2291 will normally be required for entry into Level III Biochemistry courses. 7. Students wishing to do Honours will need to consult with the appropriate school at the end of Stage 2 of their program. 8. Level III Psychology electives must include one course from at least two of the following three elective groups: Advanced Perceptual/Cognitive - PSYC3151, PSYC3211, PSYC3221, PSYC3311, PSYC3321 Advanced Biological - PSYC3051, PSYC3241, PSYC3251, PSYC3261 Advanced Social - PSYC31321, PSYC3271, PSYC3281 Major Plans for the Bachelor of Science (3970) program and Combined BSc Programs
* Mathematics + Statistics double major requirements are listed on the School of Mathematics website.
