Course overview
In this one-year program, students will investigate the roles science and technology play in our everyday lives, and how data can be used to solve real-world challenges.
In this program students will study core scientific fields like biology, chemistry and ecology, as well as ‘Big Idea’ modules that introduce them to the cutting edge of science, research and technology. Students will work in the lab and in the field to build skills in investigation, presenting data and critical analysis. They'll explore career options with elective courses in Environmental Science, general Science or Animal Ecology, then later complete a bachelor. Upon successful completion, students may receive direct entry and up to 96 units of credit* towards UniSC's Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Environmental Science or Bachelor of Animal Ecology.
