Introduction
The Science Enabling Course is offered over the December/February period. Units of study comprise chemistry, life sciences (plant science and zoology), mathematics and physics. Students may study any number of these individual units.
Admission & Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for entry to the Science Enabling Course or the chemistry, mathematics and physics units. To study the life sciences unit, students must have been offered a place in any course at the University and be enrolled or intend to enrol in first-year botany or zoology.
Course Objectives
The Science Enabling Course provides opportunities for students:
- To qualify for entry to the Bachelor of Science (S3G) or the Bachelor of Natural Environment & Wilderness Studies (S3T);
- Who have not completed year 12 Chemistry (CHM5C) to enrol in first year chemistry units at the University that have CHM5C as a prerequisite for entry;
- Who have not completed year 12 Mathematics Stage 2 (MME5C) to enrol in any mathematics units taught at the University that have MME5C as a prerequisite;
- Who have not completed year 12 Physics (PHY5C) to enrol in physics units taught at the University that have PHY5C as a prerequisite (provided students also have year 12 maths or completed the Mathematics Foundation Unit);
- Who have been offered a place in a course at the University and are considering enrolment in first year plant science and/or zoology to gain an understanding of conceptual and practical concepts in the life sciences prior to commencing studies in plant science or zoology.
