This 11 month program will provide students with the opportunity to pursue a degree in Science that will lead to a career in a discipline of Science or a science-related area. Students will complete a set of courses in one of two streams of study: a Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Sciences stream, or a Biological and Medical Sciences stream. Successful completion of each stream will satisfy the first year requirements for various majors or specialisations in the Bachelor of Science program at UNSW Sydney, and students will be granted credit towards an undergraduate degree for equivalent courses. In this Diploma program students will be able to experience a university environment and university life, while being supported to acquire all of the knowledge and skills needed for successful transition to undergraduate studies at UNSW. The courses in this program have been designed to be equivalent in content and outcomes to first year UNSW courses but the pace is slower and the face-to-face contact hours are greater. The course structure allows students to get accustomed to University learning styles - in Lectures, Laboratories, and Problem-Solving Workshops - while receiving additional support as required for the duration of the Diploma. After successful completion of a stream of eight courses, students will receive credit (advanced standing) for first year of a Bachelor of Science and they will progress into the second year of a Bachelor of Science to pursue studies in their choice of a number of allied areas. Program Structure Students must complete 48 UOC as a standalone program. 1. Core Courses (30 UOC) 2. Prescribed Electives (18 UOC)
