Preparatory studies
Preparatory studies are available for students requiring fee-paying transitional learning activities through continuing education programs such as IntroBiol, IntroChem, and IntroMaths. Contact the School of Chemical and Biomedical Sciences on +61 7 4930 9709 for further information. International students for whom English is not their first language are encouraged to undertake English language courses during Term 3.
Elective selections
Elective courses are not specified as core courses for award of the degree, but the 6 courses make up the total units of credit required for the award.
Students can select electives from any school or faculty in the University; however, they are encouraged to maximise their future career options by undertaking a sub-plan in another discipline, rather than a random selection of electives in widely differing disciplines.
A sub-plan in psychology has proved the most popular option with students enrolling in PSYC11008 and PSYC11009 in first year. Other popular elective strands chosen by biomedical science students are human movement science (HMSC11034 and HMSC11006), Japanese (JAPN11012 and JAPN11013), and mathematics (MATH11163 and MATH11164). A variety of alternative electives such as health related courses, environmental science, physics, biology, chemistry, computing, professional writing and journalism, computer programming and information technology, sociology, languages, law, and occupational health and safety are also chosen.
Note: students must check to see when and where a course is offered before enrolling. See the course availability section for details.
Application for credit transfer
Credit transfer will only be granted where a student is able to demonstrate through certified documents that tertiary studies equivalent in content and depth to the CQU program have been successfully completed. Students should examine the course synopses in this handbook to determine the courses for which they may be eligible to claim exemption. For more information about credit transfers contact the Program Administrator.
