- To continue in this major students are required to get a credit or higher in MATH1031 Mathematics for Life Sciences. Where students do not meet this requirement they will need to consider undertaking a different major within their Science program. Advice on related majors can be received from staff in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science.
- Students considering transferring to the 3707 Bachelor of Engineering in Bioinformatics Engineering, should enrol in MATH1131 (or MATH1141) and MATH1231 (or MATH1241) otherwise they will be ineligible for full credit on transfer to the Engineering program.
