Animal Ecology

Full-Time Course Plan

The following are standard patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements where possible. Candidates can each year choose to study less units than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these standard patterns as guides as to how best structure their studies.

A six credit point unit is estimated to require a total workload of approximately 150 hours per unit (this means about 12 to 15 hours per week per unit).

A two-credit point year-long unit is estimated to require a total workload of approximately 50 hours per unit (this means about 2 hours per week per trimester over two trimesters).

Notes:
Students who have a weak background in chemistry are recommended to undertake CHEM100 (Introductory Chemistry).
Students who complete the B. Zoology with a GPA of 5.5 or better, or a credit average across 24 credit points of 300 level units from an area related to the major/discipline area, can choose to undertake Honours in Science (SCI400).
When choosing listed units for majors and/or minors, or elective units, students should ensure that they complete not more than 60 credit points at 100-level across the degree, and not more than 12 credit points at 400-level.
