313542 v.1 Physical Sciences Pre-major
Introduction
Students who wish to study biochemistry, chemistry, nanotechnology and/or physics and the chemistry and earth sciences double major may enrol in this pre-major. It provides students with the foundation knowledge necessary to pursue their interest in these areas of science. Students wishing to complete a double major must ensure that they choose their electives appropriately to complete the prerequisites for admission to both majors. Consult the Course Coordinator if necessary. A list of all the majors, streams, extended streams and majors is available at: http://www.handbook.curtin.edu.au
