AND

48 units from completion of one of the following Honours specialisations:

• ASTR-HSPC Astronomy and Astrophysics
• BIAN-HSPC Biological Anthropology
• BIOL-HSPC Biology
• CHEM-HSPC Chemistry
• COMP-HSPC Computer Science
• EMSC-HSPC Earth and Marine Science
• ENVI-HSPC Environment

*For students undertaking Honours in an Honours specialisation other than ENVI-HSPC, the Honours research project must be in the field of Environment & Sustainability.

*A course can only be counted toward one major or minor, with the exception that a maximum of 12 units of 1000 level courses can count toward two majors that share common first year requirements.

*Students must achieve a minimum 70% Weighted Average Mark in all science courses in each period (Summer/First Semester/Autumn and Winter/Second Semester/Spring) in order to continue in the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability Advanced (Honours). Courses contributing towards the majors or minors but not listed in the Science course list will also contribute towards the 96 unit Science requirement for students completing the first 144 units of the program and therefore will contribute towards the minimum 70% weighted average mark. Students who do not achieve a minimum 70% Weighted Average Mark in all science courses and courses contributing towards the 96 units Science requirement will be transferred to the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability.

*Students must complete 144 units and achieve a minimum 70% Weighted Average Mark (calculated from the 36 units of courses in disciplines cognate to the Honours specialisation, excluding 1000-level courses, with the highest marks) and satisfy all admission requirements specified in the Honours specialisation in order to commence the Honours specialisation. Students who do not achieve the 70% Weighted Average Mark after 144 units or do not satisfy all admission requirements specified in the Honours specialisation will be transferred to the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability.
