Bachelor Of Science (wsci01) In Geographic Information Science in Charles Darwin University

Do you have a curious mind and question everything? Perhaps a career in science is your calling.

Your study options are flexible and diverse with a focus on professional experience in various sciences including biologist, ecologist, spatial scientist, biomedical scientist, chemist, or in other science fields.

You will combine academic studies with practical learning in distinctive environments and communities of northern Australia and the region, and their associated challenges in environmental management and public health, including Indigenous health.

You will strengthen your problem solving, logical and critical thinking skills, apply an understanding of scientific and technological factors, and consider issues from various cultural, economic and other societal perspectives throughout your studies helping you to approach tasks informed and confident.

You will be able to demonstrate and apply an understanding of their chosen areas of science, including concepts, theories and principles to practise in real situations.

Students undertaking the Biomedical Science specialisation should note that due to laboratory requirements, on-campus attendance at intensive teaching blocks will be required for some units throughout the course.

External: This course is available online through distance education with some on-campus attendance requirements.

Course Structure

This course consists of common units, science specialist elective and elective units as described in the course outline. Students may complete a General Science course or specializations selected from disciplines such as in Biomedical Science, Ecology, and Geographical Information Science. These courses are structured to ensure fundamental science foundations are then supported by advanced units appropriate to the discipline area. Professional practice experiences are a feature of the course. Please note that external students are required to attend on-campus intensive teaching blocks depending on the units studied.

A candidate must successfully complete units totalling 240 credit points (cp). All units are valued at 10 credit points unless indicated.
