4. Bachelor of Science specialist degree programs

This chapter is intended to give enrolment advice to undergraduate students in the Faculty of Science enrolling in specialist Bachelor of Science degrees. You will find answers to frequently asked questions covering all students. Following this are specific summaries of the requirements for each degree including examples of how unit of study choices can be made over the duration of the degree. With some degrees there is information on recommended combinations of units of study, especially in first year, to help guide you to your goals.

It should be stressed that the information in this chapter is intended to be a rough guide only. All students will have to decide for themselves how to plan their degree to suit their own particular interests and situation.

All students are expected to read the degree resolutions for their course before they commence their studies, and from time to time during their studies. Undergraduate degree resolutions appear in chapter 2. The tables of undergraduate units of study available for each degree and unit descriptions appear in this chapter, and Table 1 of the Bachelor of Science degree in chapter 3.

Students enrolled in units of study offered by the Faculty of Science are required to familiarise themselves with the following key policies:

Special Arrangements
Students who are experiencing difficulty in meeting their assessment requirements due to competing essential community commitments may apply for Special Arrangements for examination and assessment.

Special Consideration
Students who have a serious illness or who have experienced misadventure which may affect their academic performance in a course or unit of study may request that they be given Special Consideration in relation to the determination of their results.

At Risk
To progress through a degree course, students are required to:

achieve the minimum Progression Rate specified by the Faculty; in the Faculty of Science, students must pass more than 50 per cent of the units attempted in each semester
pass any field or clinical work, practicum, or other unit of study mandated by the faculty (listed in your degree requirements).

If you do not meet the progress requirements, you will be identified as a student at risk. The At Risk policy is read in addition to specific degree progression requirements.

Code of Conduct for Students
The University has clear expectations of students in respect of academic matters and personal behaviour.

Student Plagiarism: Coursework Policy and Procedure
The University of Sydney expects high standards of academic honesty in all student work. In particular, the University is opposed to and will not tolerate plagiarism.

Details on Special Arrangements, Special Consideration, Code of Conduct for Students, and Student Plagiarism Policy are provided elsewhere in this handbook.

Inside the back cover of this handbook is a planner to help you map out your degree. It is recommended that you plan your studies carefully with an eye to your final years, so that you take the correct prerequisites in the preceding years. It will be useful to revisit this planner during your studies as your interests take more detailed shape.

Enrolment day FAQs

What is a 'major'?

Some degrees in the Faculty of Science require you to complete a major. A major is a specialisation in the senior year of your degree. Specialist Bachelor of Science degrees have been designed to develop your knowledge and skills in a particular area. Students enrolling in specialist degree programs do not have majors, but do have a specialisation.

How many credit points should I take per semester?

You should take 24 credit points each semester if you are a full-time student. There is an upper limit of 30 credit points per semester. If you take fewer than 18 credit points in each semester you will automatically become part-time.

To finish your degree in the recommended minimum time you will have to take 48 credit points per year, or 24 per semester. If you enrol part time you can take as few credit points as you like. You must keep in mind however that you have a 10 year limit to finish your degree. Students wishing to accelerate their degree programs may consider undertaking units offered at Summer School or undertaking up to 30 credit points each semester. The degree summaries and sample programs in this chapter assume you will enrol full-time.

Do I need to be full-time?

International students must enrol full-time in a minimum of 24 credit points per semester unless there are exceptional circumstances. Failure to enrol in 24 credit points per semester may have serious ramifications for your visa.

Australian citizens and permanent residents are considered full-time if they are enrolled in 18 or more credit points per semester.

If you receive any financial support, whether from a University scholarship or from the government, you may well need to enrol as a full-time student. You should carefully check the terms and conditions of that support before going part-time. Australian citizens and permanent residents who wish to receive a transport concession card must be full-time students.

Can I take units of study from other faculties?

Students in specialist degrees may have room for some electives. In some instances, these electives may be taken from other faculties. Consult your degree resolutions and sample degree table.

Can I receive credit for previous tertiary study?

Yes. The amount of credit you receive depends on your individual circumstances, but in general the total amount of credit granted may not be greater than 96 credit points and may not include more than 48 credit points from degrees that have been completed.

On the day that you enrol you must lodge an application for credit from previous study. Because of the large numbers of applications received at enrolment there can be a considerable delay in processing your application, but all credit offers will be sent to students well in advance of the last day to add a unit of study for the semester in which they enrol.

The faculty must sight originals of your academic transcripts, as well as detailed descriptions of prior units of study completed, as at the time of completion of the units. Descriptions will normally be an extract from a handbook or a unit of study syllabus/outline, and should include the credit point value, learning outcomes, assessment details, texts and references, and contact details for each unit of study. You must bring this information with you on the day that you enrol. On enrolment day you will have to make unit of study choices as if you have had no previous university study. Alternatively, you may be able to obtain special permission to enrol in intermediate or senior units of study by taking a copy of your transcript and unit of study descriptions to academic advisers for each individual unit of study. Unit of study academic advisers are listed under unit of study descriptions in this handbook.

Information on the current application process for credit, including the application form, is available from the Faculty of Science website.

Are any bridging courses available?

There are bridging courses in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, designed to cover the assumed knowledge that students would normally cover in the HSC. They run in February each year after enrolment and are recommended for students who either did not take a subject at the HSC or feel they need some revision.

Who can enrol in advanced units of study?

Advanced units of study are available to those students enrolled in any program in the Faculty of Science who have performed at a high level in science subjects in the HSC or who perform well in their studies at the University.

Consult a departmental adviser about your eligibility to enrol in advanced-level subjects in the first year of study. You must obtain special permission to enrol in any advanced unit of study except Software. For advanced Software units of study, you must meet the criteria listed on the permission form for advanced units of study. The departmental advisers have copies of the permission form.

You should consult the unit of study tables for assumed and prerequisite marks in the HSC required to enrol in Advanced units of study.

For students in an Advanced degree it is recommended that you enrol in no more than 24 credit points of Advanced units of study in a year. Advanced units of study are very demanding and students are required to perform at a higher standard than in the normal units of study.

What is the Talented Student Program?

The Talented Student Program (TSP) is unique to the University of Sydney. It is tailored to meet students’ individual needs and is restricted to the very top students.

Students may be able to bypass some first year study and enrol directly in a second year course. If you have outstanding results in any of your HSC science subjects you may wish to negotiate a special program of study with one of the departments in the Faculty of Science.

The Talented Student Program is available in most areas of Science. Students receive special supervision by academic staff and often engage in studies on an individual basis with small numbers of fellow students, all of whom have a special interest in the same subject.

Am I eligible for the Talented Student Program?

Entry to the TSP is by invitation from the Dean which you should have received by the time you enrol. The following guidelines apply generally, although departments may have additional (and sometimes more stringent) requirements for entry into the program.

To get into the program in your first year, you should normally have an ATAR (or equivalent) of at least 99.00 and a result in band 6 in at least one HSC Science subject area and/or a mark of 95 or better in HSC Mathematics Extension 2.

For entry into the program in your second and third years, you should normally have a weighted average mark of 85 or over and a high distinction grade in the relevant subject area.
