Bachelor of Science

Subjects

For each 8 point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, residential schools, or examinations.

If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.

Graduation requirements

As a Charles Sturt University student, throughout your course you have a responsibility to continue to develop skills in English language, literacy and numeracy as appropriate to your discipline. This ongoing development will enable you to effectively participate in your course and graduate prepared to enter the workforce.

To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 192 points.Full subject list
The course comprises a set of core subjects, a major, a minor, and a number of electives:


The core subjects are common to all combinations of majors and minors. There are four core subjects  (STA201 STA308 SCI101 and SCI201 ) and two additional breadth subjects to be chosen outside the major and minor disciplines from BIO100 , CHM108 , MTH105 , GEO164 , PSC102 , PHY107 and MCR101 . These subjects will broaden the basic scientific knowledge of graduates and therefore cannot align with the disciplines studied in their major or minor. They can however be a component of a second minor.

The major must contain a minimum of 64 points (the equivalent of eight standard subjects) with at least 48 points at Level 2 or higher and at least 24 points at Level 3 or higher.

Note: The Analytical Chemistry major requires 96 points (including 16 points in Mathematics, i.e., MTH101 and MTH102 ). 

The minor must contain a minimum of 32 points (the equivalent of four standard subjects) with at least 16 points at Level 2 or higher.
