Stream Structure
In order to fulfil the requirements of the degree students must complete 168 UOC comprising of at least 48 UOC of Disciplinary Knowledge and Enquiry-based Courses, at least 30 UOC Introductory Knowledge core courses, and at least 60 days of approved Industrial Training experience.
Full time students complete four (48 UOC) courses per semester.
Recommended plans of study may be found here.
Year 1
Choose ONE of:
- MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
- MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
- MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
- MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
- PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
