Overview

This course is designed to provide students with a coherent program of study in a range of disciplines in science. Graduates will have a broad scientific background to assist with future employment or to pursue further study. Programs of study can be designed with an emphasis in any discipline within The Sciences.

On completion of the Advanced Diploma students may enrol for a Bachelor degree (the actual degree will be dependent on the program of study completed) and are able to count units already completed towards either the Diploma.
