Course programme

You can pursue pathways in one or more of the following areas of science: Biomedical Sciences; Chemical Sciences; Earth Sciences; Evolutionary Biology and Ecology; Molecular Biology; Physics; Soil Science and Spatial Information Science.
Biomedical Science involves the biomedical aspects of biology and focuses on understanding both the normal functions and diseases of the human body.
We emphasise the interface between modern biomedical knowledge and experimental approaches.
Students are taught by world-class biomedical researchers and experienced educators.
Graduates gain employment in medical or research laboratories, hospitals, private industries, the pharmaceutical industry, sports clinics, the biotechnology industry, forensic science, food science and nutrition, cardiac technology, rehabilitation, chiropractics and teaching.
Chemical Sciences Chemical Sciences involves the study of the structure, physical and chemical properties and reactions of elements and compounds.
Students learn how to apply this knowledge to develop new and useful chemicals such as plastics, fuels and pharmaceuticals, for manufacture, medicine and the environment.
Graduates can look forward to opportunities in a wide range of professional careers including environmental monitoring and control, mining, forensic science, nanotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, medical and agricultural laboratories, manufacturing, food technology, the chemical industry, research and teaching.
Earth Sciences Earth Science involves the study of how the planet is formed, how it works, its turbulent 4.
5 billion year history and how its precious resources can be located and used.
It also investigates how the fragile landscape and often hazardous natural events must be studied and understood so that they can be adequately managed.
Earth Science is one of the most diverse of the sciences covering everything from meteorites to dinosaurs and gold deposits to volcanoes.
Graduates may seek a wide range of professional careers in areas including resource management, environmental geology, mineral and energy exploration, organic geochemistry, seismology, geomorphology, palaeontology, industry and fundamental research.
Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Evolutionary Biology and Ecology enables students to investigate the diversity of life on earth and the relationships between organisms and their environments.
Students will learn about plants and animals, their ecology, conservation and management, physiology and evolution, including those in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems.
Fieldwork and the study of South Australian ecosystems are important components of many later year courses.
Spatial Science allows students to assess, map and monitor the Australian landscapes using the latest technology in geographical information systems, remote sensing, and spatial modelling.
Exciting careers exist in environmental consultancy, environmental monitoring and management, community education, ecotourism, wildlife parks, catchment management, research and teaching.
Physics provides an understanding of the structure of matter and the nature of the universe.
Students develop a detailed knowledge of areas such as astrophysics, atmospheric and environmental physics, computational physics, optics and lasers, photonics and nuclear and particle physics.
Mathematical and computer science courses are often taken together with physics.
Employment opportunities exist for graduates in electronics, optics and laser industries, scientific computing, telecommunications, space and astronomy programs, forensic science, defence, health and environmental industries, medical physics and in research.
Soil Science and Spatial Information Science explores the chemical and physical properties of soils in Australian landscapes.
Graduates are keenly sought after by a wide range of government agencies, regional bodies, private enterprise and universities to work in the fields of oil surveying, environmental planning, soil conservation, environmental impact assessment, environmental engineering, land assessment and mapping, research and biodiversity survey and assessment.
