• Biology TQA3 (BIO315109)
• Chemistry TQA3 (CHM315109)
• Mathematics Applied TQC3 (MTA315109)
• Mathematics Methods TQA3 (MTM315109)
• Mathematics Specialised TQA3 (MTS315109)
• Physics TQA3 (PHY315109)
• Physical Sciences (PSC315114)
• Sports Science TQA3(SPT315108)

If you're a mature age student

You will need to meet the following:

• University general entry requirements
• Plus tertiary or TAFE science qualifications (minimum AQF level 3) considered, case-by-case, by Course Coordinator.

Safety in Practice Compliance

All students enrolling in Faculty of Health programs which include a professional experience placement (PEP) component, laboratory and/or field activity are required to establish and maintain their capacity to practice safely via Safety in Practice Requirements compliance documentation.

This includes completing/providing:

• national criminal history check;
• working with children registration;
• medical, physical and psychological capacity to safely undertake the Faculty of Health Mandatory Functional Requirements; and
• infectious disease and immunisation status.

The Faculty of Health assesses student compliance in accordance with the Safety in Practice Compliance and Risk Assessment Procedure. Without this documentation, students may be excluded from participating in their course.

Students must submit documentation complying with the Safety in Practice Requirements before:

• semester one census date annually; or
• in case of late enrolment, prior to beginning study.

The exceptions are the Working with Children Registration and Immunisation Record Card check, which must be completed 4 weeks prior to first PEP.

Advanced Standing for appropriate studies completed at TAFE and/or other university courses may be granted. You can apply for advanced standing as part of the application process, or it can be assessed independently via a separate application.

Please contact us for further information.

This course articulates from the Bachelor of General Studies (Health Science Pathway) (X3H)

This course articulates to M4K Bachelor of Exercise Physiology (Professional Honours), and M4H Bachelor of Health Science with Honours.

If you meet the minimum ATAR but haven't completed the required prerequisite unit(s), we offer Foundation Units to help you bridge the gap. These are offered at no cost to you (HECS-waived) and many run in spring and summer school so you can meet a prerequisite and not delay the start of your Bachelor level studies.

• Chemistry Foundation Unit (KRA001)
• Physics Foundation Unit (KYA004)
• Mathematics Foundation Unit (KMA003)

If you do not meet the ATAR, or you are a mature age student and do not meet the General Entry Requirements, you could consider enrolment in the Bachelor of Health and Community Care. This degree offers pathways to becoming an employable graduate in various health related fields or as a pathway to access other health courses. Please contact us for further information.
