Semester 2, Spring school (November)
The University of Tasmania International First Year Diploma – Science (UTAS IFYD-Sci) programme has been developed to meet the needs of students who are academically capable of undertaking undergraduate study at university but require extra Academic English language support in their first year. These students will also benefit from a targeted introduction to academic, cultural, social and practical aspects of study at the University of Tasmania which may differ from the diverse international backgrounds they come from.

The Course is designed to allow students to meet the prerequisite knowledge and skills required for direct entry into second year Science undergraduate degrees at the University of Tasmania. Students will study eight units at first year undergraduate level. In addition to three compulsory units (Academic English, Data Handling and Statistics and Understanding Science), students will choose five elective units (two units for a discipline major, two units for a discipline minor and one unit as a degree elective). Four units are studied each semester over two semesters giving a total of eight units.

1. To demonstrate a coherent understanding of a discipline’s first year undergraduate level through identifying, describing and explaining foundational theories, concepts, principles, models and processes.

2. To critically apply this understanding to routine and relevant problems and settings and to make subsequent interpretations and recommendations.

3. To demonstrate intellectual independence, impartiality and sound judgement within general academic and specific disciplinary ethical and legal frameworks.

4. To effectively communicate ideas and findings to specialist and non-specialist audiences in written and oral formats using appropriate conventions and logical development supported with evidence and research.

Course structure

The course structure is designed to allow students to complete the course in two semesters. Entry points occur at the beginning of Semester One (February), Semester Two (July) and the Spring Semester (late October). Semester dates align with the standard University of Tasmania semesters. Semesters consist of 13 weeks of study followed by a one week exam period.
