Bachelor Degree regulations:
Students are required to complete a minimum of 68 credit points, including:
- at least 38 credit points in units at 200 level or above
- at least 18 credit points at 100 level
- at least 34 credit points in units at 200 level or above designated as science units and
- at least 18 credit points in units at 300 level or above designated as science units. These 18 credit points must include a coherent study approved for this degree.

Also students are required to include at least 6 credit points of science-designated units in each of their first 2 years.

Coherent Studies:
Under the Bachelor of Science students may pursue coherent (major) studies in the Schools of Biological or Earth Sciences.

Possible majors include:
Animal Science
Plant Science
General Biology (including Biochemistry, Ecology, Genetics,
Biodiversity, Conservation Biology)
Geology
Geophysics.

Although students can take courses offered from the Schools of
Chemistry and Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Electronics, it is not possible to complete a major in any of these fields by external study.
