Q This is a sample course plan only. Subjects offered may change from year to year. You will be advised of current subject offerings prior to subject selection and enrolment.

W This sample course plan includes six breadth studies subjects. One or two of these subjects can be taken as an elective within your discipline.

DEFENCE AND DISEASE The human immune system has evolved to control harmful microbes and tumours but can sometimes inflict damage on its host, and as such is a major contributor to human disease. This major examines and integrates immunology – the study of the immune system – with pathological processes and their morphologic, molecular and genetic bases which are associated with immune-based disease.

GENETICS The Genetics major integrates knowledge across the breadth of genetics, including an integrated practical capstone subject in which you will develop an understanding of the application of experimental analysis to solving problems in biology.


HUMAN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION The Human Structure and Function major explains how the human body works, based on a deep understanding of the relationship between physiology and anatomy. The subjects are structured so that the anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of the human body are taught in carefully integrated units that also introduce relevant elements from pathology, pharmacology and zoology.


Making a difference through biomedicine

“The Bachelor of Biomedicine has opened my eyes to so many fantastic things that biomedicine can do for the world and for people less fortunate than us. I really want to use the knowledge I’ve learned in this degree to help lift global health and eradicate diseases in areas that need it most.”

Bachelor of Science

COURSE DESCRIPTION The Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive program spanning the sciences, health sciences, technology and engineering systems. It provides you with the opportunity to tailor a program of study to suit your individual strengths and career goals.

The Bachelor of Science is the first step towards a career in professional science, engineering, veterinary science or health practice, which can be pursued through further study.

WHAT DO I STUDY? First year Many of the first-year subject areas will be familiar to you from your secondary school studies, yet there will also be many new disciplines to investigate. First-year packages will support you in selecting sensible combinations of subjects to maintain greater course flexibility and choice.

The following packages are available:

■ Behavioural Sciences ■ Chemical Sciences ■ Earth Sciences ■ Engineering Systems ■ Environmental Sciences ■ Information Technology ■ Life Sciences ■ Mathematics and Statistics ■ Physical Sciences.

Second year As you move into your second year you will begin to specialise, though in most cases you are still able to keep your options open for two major areas of study. This allows you to further investigate and explore diverse areas of science, engineering and technology before deciding on your major.

Third year In third year you will participate in a practical capstone experience. This will allow you to apply your knowledge and skills in a research or practical context.

CHOOSING YOUR MAJOR A major is a group of subjects within a specialised area of study. As a Bachelor of Science student you must complete a science major – a program of study developed across first, second and third-year-level subjects, culminating in the major (50 points, usually four subjects) at third-year level.

The Bachelor of Science offers 35 majors. See pages 11–16 for more information.

GET AN EDGE WITH BREADTH We know that employers look for graduates who are adaptable and bring unique skills and knowledge to the workplace. Through breadth, you can take subjects from outside your core study area, allowing you to gain knowledge and understanding across a broader range of disciplines. You will develop insight, experience and new ways of thinking in areas outside of the main fields of study in your degree.

For example, you may choose to explore the historical background and evolution of scientific concepts in disciplines such as history and philosophy of science, history or anthropology. Alternatively, you may look at science in the context of political science, law, education, criminology or economics. You may also pursue other interests via breadth studies, such as music or languages.

You must complete a minimum of four subjects of breadth study, with another two subjects of your choice – that is, you can choose breadth or core subjects, giving you greater flexibility.

Breadth tracks A breadth track is a set of three or more subjects that progressively develops knowledge and skills relevant to a particular theme, topic or issue. Breadth tracks are not compulsory, but they can help you identify coherent groups of breadth subjects so you can gain the maximum benefit from your breadth component.


HONOURS Whether you plan to pursue a career in business, research, government or communications, honours is an opportunity to complement and expand an undergraduate science degree through an additional year of study.

Honours is offered in many science disciplines. Alternative pathways with research training are also offered through the Master of Science or Master of Engineering.

Psychology

HOW TO STUDY PSYCHOLOGY AT MELBOURNE At Melbourne, psychology is studied either as an accredited sequence through the Bachelor of Arts, Science or Commerce, or as individual breadth subjects. The option to study psychology in conjunction with other undergraduate subjects gives you the opportunity to broaden your subject selection, expertise and possible career outcomes.

MAJOR IN PSYCHOLOGY If you wish to major in Psychology you need to complete an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited sequence of 125 credit points of study through the Bachelor of Arts, Science or Commerce. The Psychology major develops a wide understanding of psychology, with a sequential development of knowledge through the study of advanced subjects in third year. You can also choose to complete a Psychology major that is not APAC accredited.

FOURTH YEAR OR HONOURS IN PSYCHOLOGY If you would like to register as a psychologist in Australia you must complete a four-year accredited sequence in psychology. The fourth year can be undertaken through an Arts or Science honours degree, or the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, all of which are accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). The fourth-year program helps you acquire the knowledge, skills and research necessary to achieve excellence in psychology.

Application to the honours program is open to graduates of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science (or equivalent) with an APAC-accredited three-year sequence in psychology (or equivalent). Entry to the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology is open to graduates with a bachelors degree that includes an APAC-accredited three-year sequence in psychology (or equivalent).

The APAC-accredited sequence may not be possible in all Commerce streams.

www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/courses/undergraduate

FURTHER STUDY IN PSYCHOLOGY In order to register as a psychologist in Australia, you must complete the four-year accredited undergraduate honours sequence in psychology followed by at least two years of professionally-accredited training at masters level, or two years of supervised practice with a registered psychologist.

The Master of Psychology is a two-year program that provides graduates with the skills to work as professional clinical psychologists or neuropsychologists. Graduates are eligible for membership of the College of the Australian Psychological Society. We also offer a combined Master of Psychology/PhD program for students interested in academic careers, as well as professional training.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION The Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, the accrediting authority for psychology courses taught in Australia, provides professional recognition for the undergraduate sequence, honours/postgraduate diplomas and graduate degrees. These qualifications are also well regarded internationally.

CAREER OUTCOMES Psychology graduates are equipped with skills that open up a wide range of potential career pathways and opportunities. Graduates who pursue an honours year followed by a professional or research graduate degree find employment in areas such as:

■ Clinical psychology ■ Community services ■ Counselling ■ Educational and developmental

psychology ■ Forensic psychology ■ Neuropsychology ■ Organisational psychology ■ Sports psychology.

Combined with further professional training, the skills you gain can also be applied across a range of careers and professions, including teaching, marketing, human resources, journalism, market research and policy development.
