68 | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | www.unsw.edu.auprogram information | SPhysical Oceanography/Meterology is concernedprimarily with the mathematical equations thatdescribe fluid flow and how these are used inunderstanding the ocean. It is also concerned withthe measurement, modelling and prediction ofprocesses that form the world’s climate system.Physics is the study of the laws of nature that governthe behaviour of the universe. From the very smallestscales of sub-atomic particles to the very largest incosmology, it applies these laws to the solution ofpractical problems and the development of newtechnologies.Physiology is the study of how the normal bodysystems function in humans and animals. It examineslife processes and their consequences - from themolecular level through to the whole organism. Thisis one of the major foundations of medicine.Psychology is concerned with the scientific andsystematic study of the human mind and behaviour,in a wide variety of areas. It encompasses the studyof cognitive, social, developmental, behavioural andphysiological processes.Safety Science applies physical, health andbehavioural sciences to the safety and well being ofpeople in work and other activities. (This discipline iscurrently under review. For further information pleasecontact the Faculty of Science on sso@unsw.edu.au).Spatial Information Systems focuses on theintegrated approach of measurement, analysis,management, storage and display of the descriptionsand location of Earth-based data (spatial data). Thisdata comes from many sources, including earthorbitingsatellites, air and seaborne sensors andground-based instruments.Statistics is a fascinating science and art that usesquantitative data for modelling and inference.Its mathematical foundations are in the theory ofprobability and it works out how to estimate andmake decisions using knowledge that is uncertain orobservational material that is subject to error.Toxicology is the study of the adverse effects ofchemicals on people and/or the environment, andthe means in which such adverse effects can beidentified, assessed and controlled. It is a blendof biological, chemical, safety and environmentalsciences. (This discipline is currently under review.For further information please contact the Faculty ofScience on sso@unsw.edu.au).Vision Science deals with the mechanics of sight andincludes applied technology to help us see better.The program is designed to develop technologistsand scientists who can work in ophthalmic industriesto build better instruments and technologies forvision and vision based aspects of other industries.*These study plans have to be combined with a minimumamount of science-based courses.MINOR SUBJECTS AVAILABLEIf students choose to study a minor, the minor maybe taken from another area of science or from theFaculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Engineering,Built Environment or the Australian School ofBusiness.Combined ProgramsBachelor of Science/Bachelor of ArtsProgram code 3930FacultyScienceMin. years 4 yearsUOC (per year/total) 48/192Semester 2 entry Yes (may require summer sessionafter 1st semester)Est. first year tuition A$25,200Est. fee to complete A$114,160Assumed Knowledge Maths and Chemistry plus Biologyor Earth and Environmental Scienceor PhysicsOnline Handbook www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2010/3930.htmlWebsitewww.science.unsw.edu.auBachelor of Science/Bachelor of Social ScienceProgram code 3935FacultyScienceMin. years 4 yearsUOC (per year/total) 48/192Semester 2 entry Yes (may require summer sessionafter 1st semester)Est. first year tuition A$25,200Est. fee to complete A$114,160Assumed Knowledge Maths and Chemistry plus Biologyor Earth and Environmental Scienceor PhysicsOnline Handbook www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2010/3935.htmlWebsitewww.science.unsw.edu.auSEE ALSOBachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Sciencepage 38Bachelor of Engineering (various programs)/Bachelorof Sciencepages 43-55Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Sciencepage 65Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Science (Advanced)page 65Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Educationpage 42Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Lawspage 61Advanced ScienceBachelor of Science (Advanced)Program code 3972FacultyScienceMin. years 4 yearsUOC (per year/total) 48/192Semester 2 entry Yes (may require summer semesterafter 1st semester)Est. first year tuition A$28,560Est. fee to complete A$129,040Assumed Knowledge Maths and Chemistry plus Biologyor Earth and Environmental Scienceor PhysicsOnline Handbook www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2010/3972.htmlWebsitewww.science.unsw.edu.auWhat is Advanced Science?Advanced Science degree programs provide achallenge to students with an interest in criticalthinking, research and innovation. Tailored specificallyfor talented students, these programs require fouryears of full-time study, including a research-basedyear of training leading to an Honours award.A wide choice of study plans, designed to meetspecific aims and objectives, is available. Moststudy plans are identified with a particular school ordiscipline (e.g. anatomy, chemistry). Depending onthe program of study, students in their fourth yearundertake either a research Honours program or aprogram of coursework and research. OutstandingHonours degree students may continue their studiesin a higher research degree.Study Plans In Advanced Science• Anatomy• Archaeology andPalaeoenvironments• Biochemistry• Biological Science• Biotechnology• Chemistry• Climate Science• Ecology• Genetics• Geosciences• Geochemistry• Marine and Coastal Studies• Mathematical Physics• Medical Microbiology and Immunology• Microbiology• Molecular Biology• Neuroscience• Pharmacology• Physical Oceanography• Physics• Physics and Astronomy• Physics and Computing• Physiology• Psychology• Vision ScienceBachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics)Program code 3986FacultyScienceMin. years 4 yearsUOC (per year/total) 48/192Semester 2 entry Yes (may require summer semesterafter 1st semester)Est. first year tuition A$28,560Est. fee to complete A$129,040Assumed Knowledge MathsOnline Handbook www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2010/3986.htmlWebsitewww.maths.unsw.edu.auWhat is Advanced Mathematics?This program targets high achievers who wishto specialise in mathematics as a basis for theincreasing range of quantitative careers such asfinance, environmental modelling and research. Thedegree will allow students to focus on mathematicsto provide a comprehensive foundation in research.
