BSCN - Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science (BSCN) consists of 24 units; 8 core courses, one 8-unit primary major and the option of either a second 8 unit major or 8 elective courses. Elective units can be chosen from any course offered (subject to prerequisite requirements) by the University of Southern Queensland. No more than 50% of electives can be at Level 1000.
Students can refer to individual majors for recommended double majors options.
The following major is available to new international on-campus students:
Food and Beverage Science (Toowoomba Campus)
If a student completes two majors within the Bachelor of Science and one or two courses overlap between those majors, the overlapping courses may be counted only once. To meet the required number of courses for each major, the student must complete replacement course(s) at the same level or higher, chosen from any Bachelor of Science major.
Core Students complete the following eight (8) core courses8 Units
