OVERVIEW The Faculty of Science seeks to provide graduates with interesting and rewarding careers.

Fully equipped scientific and computing laboratories and state-of-the art lecture theatres assist in the practical deliv-ery of innovative teaching programs.

Science education in the Faculty is further enriched by a number of research programs and QUT's multidisciplinary research institutes (in particular the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation and the institute for Sustainable Re-sources).

The Deans Scholars Accelerated Honours Program for high achieving students fast tracks science studies while work-place learning links with industry provide students with the opportunity to earn a salary while progressing through their degree.

Double degree options are available as part of a flexible program of academic studies.

The Bachelor of Pharmacy course offered at Gardens Point focuses on community and hospital pharmacy practice.

The Faculty offers a range of courses within its four multi-disciplinary schools: School of Life Sciences, School of Mathematical Sciences, School of Natural Resource Sci-ences and School of Physical and Chemical Sciences.

The School of Life Sciences offers studies in courses fo-cused on biomedical and medical sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, and biochemistry. The School enjoys close working relationships with industry which, in turn, help to provide students with a 'hands-on' approach to all of its courses.

The School of Mathematical Sciences offers studies in ap-plied mathematics, mathematical finance, applied statistics, scientific computation and visualisation, and operations research. There is an emphasis on the applications of mathematics and many of the units are enriched by exam-ples from business and industry.

The School of Natural Resource Sciences offers major studies in environmental science, ecology and geoscience, complemented with the co-majors in biodiversity, and ap-plied geology.

The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences offers ma-jors in both Physics and Chemistry with co-majors in astro-physics, forensic science and industrial chemistry. Forensic science can also be taken as a double major with chemis-try, biochemistry, biotechnology or microbiology. The School also offers courses in medical radiation technology with majors in medical imaging technology and radiother-apy technology, which lead to a career as a diagnostic ra-diographer or radiation therapist respectively.

The first year of the Applied Science course is offered at the Carseldine campus as well as at Gardens Point. For information about the Faculty of Science visit: http://www.sci.qut.edu.au/

Career OpportunitiesAs a graduate, you may enter legal practice with aneducation in both the content and process of science anddata analysis that will enable you to deal with thecomplexities of litigation that have a scientific andtechnological dimension, such as inventions, trade secrets,quantitative evidence, and constitutional disputes giving riseto environmental issues. On the other hand, you maychoose to follow a career path in the sciences, enhancingyour opportunities in a particular discipline such asenvironmental science or biotechnology through yourknowledge of the law.

OP GuaranteeThe OP Guarantee does not apply to this course.

Course DesignThe course is designed to cover all major areas of the lawas well as allowing students to choose any one of thescience majors that are offered in the Bachelor of Applied

Science (SC01) course.

To complete the double degree in a shorter period of time,the co-major will be taken from the law program therefore itis not possible for students to choose any of the co-majorslisted under the Bachelor of Applied Science course.

Professional RecognitionGraduates will satisfy the requirements of membership inthe relevant professional body for their chosen sciencemajor. See the Bachelor of Applied Science (SC01) coursefor details. The Bachelor of Laws component covers theareas of law required for admission as a legal practitionerand/or barrister in all Australian states and territories.

Career OpportunitiesThe Bachelor of Applied Science allows multidisciplinaryprograms of study that not only help you position yourselfwithin the broad range of science disciplines but alsoqualifies you as a competent professional in your chosenfield. You will be equipped to work as a science professionalor undertake research after graduation if you desire.

The Bachelor of Education (Primary) prepares you to teachat all levels of primary school. Students may also completea discipline/content studies major in one of the key learningareas of the Queensland school curriculum.

Course DesignGraduates from this double degree will have a sciencedegree with the same core support and choice of majorstudy areas as the graduates from the Bachelor of AppliedScience (SC01) program. Education studies will comprisethe co-major component.

Professional RecognitionGraduates are eligible for registration as teachers inQueensland through the Queensland College of Teachers.

Graduates looking for employment in other parts of Australiaand overseas may be required to meet additionalconditions.

Graduates will satisfy the requirements for membership ofthe relevant professional body for their chosen sciencemajor. See the Bachelor of Applied Science course fordetails.

Working With Children CheckWorking With Children Check - As required by theCommission for Children and Young People and ChildGuardian Act (2000), student teachers must undergo acriminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card(Blue Card) by the Commission.

As soon as you enter your enrolment program for thecourse, you must submit your Blue Card application to theQUT Student Centre immediately. You must hold a BlueCard. to undertake activities in any unit which involvescontact with children, including the required field studiesblocks.

If you do not apply for a Blue Card. immediately uponenrolment in the course and allow sufficient time for thepolice check and issuing of the Card, you will be unable toparticipate in the required activities and may need to bewithdrawn from the unit(s) and incur both financial andacademic penalty. It may take up to 12 weeks for theCommission to issue the Card. The application form isavailable at bluecard.qut.com.

Professional RecognitionGraduates will satisfy the requirements for membership inthe relevant professional body for their chosen sciencemajor. See the Bachelor of Applied Science (SC01) coursefor details. Graduates are also eligible for membership ofthe Australian Computer Society (ACS).

Course DesignThe science component of the course offers students achoice of one of nine majors: Biochemistry, Biotechnology,Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Science, ForensicScience, Geoscience, Microbiology and Physics. See theBachelor of Applied Science (SC01) course information formore details. So that students can complete the doubledegree in a shorter period of time, co-majors are to be takenfrom the information technology program.

The information technology component gives students theopportunity to undertake a combined major in DataCommunications and Software Engineering. Theoreticalaspects are balanced by strong practical components inboth of the science and information technology degrees.

Recommended StudyAt least one of the sciences. For the majors in biochemistry,biotechnology, forensic science and microbiology -

Biological Science and Chemistry are recommended; for themajor in physics - Maths C is recommended.

Cooperative Education ProgramAn optional one-year period of paid work experience in anarea of information technology is available to eligible full-time students. The Cooperative Education Program is a jointventure between employers and educators to better preparestudents for employment upon graduation. Companies thatQUT's Cooperative Education students have worked withinclude Energex, Boeing, CITEC, Global Banking andSecurities Transaction, various Queensland Governmentdepartments, Dialog, TABQ, RACQ and Sun Microsystems.

A full-time candidate who does not hold an honours degreeappropriate to the course of study will normally be requiredto complete both course and research work, includingsubmission of the thesis for examination during a period ofregistration of 24 months. The corresponding period in thecase of a part-time candidate shall be 48 months. In specialcases the Academic Board may approve a shorter period.

A holder of an honours degree or its equivalent appropriateto the course of study may submit the thesis for examinationafter not less than 12 months of registration if a full-timestudent, or 24 months if a part-time student. In specialcases the Academic Board may approve a shorter period.

OverviewThe objectives of this course are to:

provide postgraduate educational opportunities inspecialised fields of applied science by means of aprogram that involves either an original contribution toknowledge or an original application of existingknowledge

provide education in research methods

enable graduates employed in industry to undertakefurther education by a combination of coursework,research and thesis

expand the involvement of students employed inindustrial organisations and external agencies inundertaking relatively short-duration applied researchor investigation.

Students can undertake an approved project in anyarea of interest supported by a research area or schoolwithin the Faculty of Science. Please note that theseareas of research specialisation are only a guide. Staffare happy to discuss study choices directly withstudents.
