Majors, minors & specialisations
Completion of 50 points of study at third year level.
A number of these science majors include specialisations. Descriptions of the specialisations are located within the majors.
Students who commenced this course prior to 2018 and are planning to complete either the Forest Systems or Informatics majors may continue to do so. Students commencing in 2018 or after interested in Forest Science can complete this specialisation within the Ecosystem Science major. Students interested in Informatics are encouraged to explore the Computing and Software Systems or Data Science majors, as well as the concurrent Diploma in informatics.
