What will I learn?

The subjects and curriculum elements are carefully sequenced to ensure that all topics are preceded and supported by prerequisite elements in their own and other disciplines.  Shared contextual examples and topics (e.g., thermodynamics) serve to implicitly and explicitly reinforce the integration of the curriculum.

Learning outcomes, graduate attributes, and academic standards are explicitly articulated and monitored, and it is supported by a quality assurance programme backed by the University of Melbourne.

This curriculum is sufficiently broad to encompass and integrate the key elements of maths, physics, chemistry and biology, and rigorous enough to prepare students for transition into a variety of majors in third year. It is also sufficiently applied and contextual so that students who would normally not consider themselves either capable or willing to participate in a particular discipline at tertiary level (e.g., mathematics), can be engaged and comfortable in a subject that is mandatory.
