Science Communication minor elective courses must be taken as part of the Science Communication minor to count towards the 32 units of BSc courses required as part of program requirements

Additional Rules

1. Program plan - BSc component

1.1 Each extended major must include 12 units of courses at level 3 or higher, taken from that extended major’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

1.2 Each major must include 8 units of courses at level 3 or higher, taken from that major’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

1.3 Each minor must include 4 units of courses at level 2 or higher, taken from that minor’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

1.4 Where the program is undertaken with more than one plan, any course listed more than once must be substituted in one plan by a course at the same level or higher from the list for that plan, or from the BSc component of the program requirements (excluding general elective courses).

  • extended major means a prescribed combination of 24 units from the extended major section in the BSc component
  • major means a prescribed combination of 16 units from the major section in the BSc component
  • minor means a prescribed combination of 8 units from the minor section in the BSc component
  • plan means a minor, major or extended major in the BSc component.
