Graduates work in a number of areas, depending on their degree subject. Each degree equips students with a particular skillset that may be applied to one or more industries.
Graduates from the Earth & Environmental Sciences stream and some degree subjects within the Biological, Biomedical & Biomolecular Sciences stream work in areas including Energy, Conservation, Wildlife & the Environment and Natural Resources
Students must select a total of 12 modules (60 credits) in Stage 1 with a minimum of 11 modules taken from core and option modules. Core and option modules are to be taken as directed. Elective modules are registered in the Spring trimester.
