Progression: Students must normally complete 50 points of study at one subject year level inclusive of SCIE10005 - Today’s Science, Tomorrow’s World (Discovery Subject) before proceeding to the next subject year level. In the case of progression to level-2 subjects, normally 50 points of level-1 subjects must be completed in addition to any BSc(Ext) foundation subjects before proceeding to level-2 subjects.

Breadth requirements: Use the Handbook Search function to find subjects that can be used as breadth studies in the Bachelor of Science (Extended). Students in the B-SCIEXT can also undertake breadth studies available in the Bachelor of Science (B-SCI).
