| Course type: |
| | Undergraduate bachelor's degree |
| Status: |
| | Current |
| Intake periods: |
| | Beginning of year only |
| Description: |
| | Contemporary science involves experiment, theory and computation. Yet not many general science graduates have sufficient training in computation to take advantage of the recent dramatic increase in computing resources, while computer science graduates do not have the required background in mathematics and science for technical fields. This programme provides a competent education in science, mathematics and computation, with valuable skills in using state-of-the-art computing facilities. |
| Admission requirements: |
| | Standard UWA requirements for entry to a bachelor's degree course. See 'Undergraduate Admission' and 'University General Rules' in the Student Procedures, Rules and Policies section of this handbook. Prerequisite: a scaled score of 50 per cent or more in TEE Applicable Mathematics and at least one discipline-related subject selected from TEE Physics, Chemistry or Geology. TEE Calculus is strongly recommended (students without it are required to take the calculus bridging course over the summer immediately preceding entry). |
