BSc(Curtin)

This course is not available to International Onshore Students on Student Visas


Introduction

This course is designed for students located at the country campuses of Curtin. Opportunities are provided to combine study in a science area with support study in other areas of the student's choice. It provides a means of response to the rapidly changing needs of society, which rarely fit within the traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines. Graduates will have a sound background in their chosen area but with greater ability to adapt to problems covered in their studies than would otherwise be the case.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

TEE Mathematics and Science are desirable.

Specific Requirements

STAT elements considered are E and either V or Q.

Entry to this course may also be available after completion of a relevant diploma or equivalent.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Course Organisation

The course requirements will ensure a uniformity of academic achievement without restricting options unnecessarily.
