Recommended background knowledge

A 12.5 point Level 1 Physics subject
OR
VCE Physics Units 3/4, or equivalent

Note: For BSc students intending to apply for the DVM via the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation it is a requirement that students have previously completed VCE Physics Units 3/4 or equivalent, or a 12.5 point Level 1 Physics subject. N.B. The subject PHYC10008 From the Solar System to the Cosmos is not considered a suitable physics subject for this purpose. Physics subject/s are part of the admission requirements for selection into Level 3 subjects in the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation and therefore must be taken by BSc students wanting to be considered for the accelerated pathway into the DVM via the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation.

Inherent requirements (core participation requirements)

The University of Melbourne is committed to providing students with reasonable adjustments to assessment and participation under the Disability Standards for Education (2005), and the Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326). Students are expected to meet the core participation requirements for their course. These can be viewed under Entry and Participation Requirements for the course outlines in the Handbook.

Further details on how to seek academic adjustments can be found on the Student Equity and Disability Support website: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/student-equity/home
