Course Plans
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. 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 to structure their studies.

For candidates studying Full-Time = 48cps per year or 24cps per semester

Year	Notes	Semester 1	Semester 2
1	In their first year candidates should enrol in these 4 units and either MATH101 or MATH120 in Semester 1 or STAT100 or MATH102 in Semester 2, and 3 Elective Units at 100-level.	BIOL110	BIOL120
		CHEM110	CHEM120
		MATH101 or MATH120 or 100-level Elective Unit	STAT100 or MATH102 or 100-Level Elective Unit
		100-level Elective Unit	100-level Elective Unit
2	In Yr 2 candidates should in these 2 units and either 1 Listed Unit for this Major and 5 Elective Units or 6 Elective Units.	BCHM210	BCHM220
		CHME204 or 200-level Elective Unit	200-level Elective Unit
		200-level Elective Unit	200-level Elective Unit

3	In Yr 3 candidates should enrol in these 2 units and either 1 Listed Unit for this Major and 5 Elective Units or 6 Elective Units.	BCHM310	BCHM320 or MICR360 or Elective Unit
		BCHM330	Elective Unit
		300-level Elective Unit	300-level Elective Unit

Notes The number and combination of Listed Units for this Major and Elective Units in which candidates enrol each year can be varied to the suggested pattern above to take into account unit availability. Candidates undertaking a 2nd Major as part of their program of study may need to substitute the core units for their 2nd Major in first year in place of a number of 100-level Elective Units and will need to complete the Prescribed and/or Listed Units for their 2nd Major in place of a number of Elective Units in Yrs 2 and 3. Candidates are advised that MATH101 and MATH102 assume a knowledge of HSC Mathematics or equivalent.

For candidates studying Part-Time = 24cps per year or 12cps per semester
