Major required sequenceMTH1020 Analysis of change, or MTH1030 Techniques for modelling, or MTH1035 Techniques for modelling (advanced) (depending on VCE or equivalent background)MTH1030 (if not taken), or MTH2010 Multivariable calculus, or MTH2015 Multivariable calculus (advanced)
Suggested science sequenceA sequence in Biological sciences, Chemistry, Computational science or PhysicsA unit to complete that science sequence
Recommended additional science unit/core science unitMAT1830 or STA1010 or SCI1022 or a science electiveSCI1000 Science communication to influence change
Science or non-science electivesA science elective or another science sequence is suggested, for example in Biological sciences, Chemistry, Computational science, Earth, atmosphere and environment, Geographical science, Physics or PsychologyA unit to complete that science sequence or an elective

Notes: If you have a strong mathematics background and a keen interest in mathematics you could replace the units MTH1030 and MTH2010 with their advanced versions MTH1035 and MTH2015 .

By completing additional level one science sequences you will have more options to specialise at stages two and three.

Science areas of study matched with this level-one recommended course plan include:
