2012 Majors and program structure
Any of the above courses may be taken in the Bachelor of Science program, in addition to courses from Arts, Law, Commerce, Economics, Engineering, Psychology, Science (Forestry), and Asian Studies programs. In 2012 students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science will required to complete 48 units of courses in one of the new Majors and 24 units of courses in one of the new Minors. Students in combined BSc degrees will required to complete 48 units of courses in one major. The degree requires students to complete 36 units of third year (science Group C) courses.

Biology Major and Minors
In 2012 there will be ONE Biology Major and four Minors called: Evolution and Ecology, Genetics, Microbiology & Immunology, Molecular Biology; and two Specialisations called: Neuroscience & Physiology, Plant Sciences. Please check 2012 StudyAt for the details of the Major and Minors.

Program Structure
The course changes for 2012 have meant some changes to course requirements for the programs. Please check 2012 StudyAt for these details.
