CHANGE OF COURSE (a) Withdrawals from units are permitted but students withdrawing during the last week of a unit or during the third term of a three- terms course will be marked absent. (b) Changes. No changes are permitted from any authorized course without approval, so that students wishing to change courses must first call at the Dean's office for an interview to obtain the necessary approval and change of authorization. Please note that changes of course will only be approved during the following periods: 1. Changes in units examined in the second term examination period, and in 3 term units examined in November, will be approved (quotas permitting) up to April 6. 2. Changes in other units may be made during the second week of term 11 (i.e. the week after the examination period). DISCONTINUATION Persons wishing to discontinue their courses should refer to Regulation 2.2, sections 7 and 8. GUIDE TO SCIENCE COURSES For general information on courses, prospective students are referred to the publication of the faculty called Guide to Science Courses. Copies of this booklet are distributed to Victorian secondary schools and are available at the University Bookroom or the faculty office. All new stu- dents are expected to be familiar with this publication. COURSES IN SCIENCE Bachelor of Science Undergraduates entering the faculty of Science to qualify for the degree of B.Sc. undertake a three years' full-time course. The degree is com- pleted by accumulating 100 points as credit for subjects passed. 18 GENERAL INFORMATION
The majority of students undertake a course which includes a progressive study to third year level of a major branch of Science, together with other supporting subjects. This prepares the graduate to undertake re- search, industrial development or teaching in his particular specialization. It is also the normal preparation for further study leading to higher degrees. However, considerable flexibility is possible in course planning, and a very wide variety of courses can be planned to meet a student's individual needs and Interests. Combined Courses A candidate who, having completed or being enrolled in a course for any other degree or diploma, is selected into the course for the degree of Bachelor of Science may with the approval of the faculty of Science be given credit for not more than forty points for subjects the equivalent of which have been passed by him in such other course. Bachelor of Science (Honours) This is a degree which Includes a greater depth of study in the student's chosen specialization. This may take the form of formal advanced study and/or investigation within the University during the fourth year. This course is the normal method of commencing higher degree study. There is also a foreign language requirement. (See Regulation 3.21.3.) Bachelor of Science (Education) This four year course is for Intending teachers of science and mathe- matics. It combines a study of one or more branches of science and mathematics with studies in education. The education studies will occupy approximately one quarter of the course and will be integrated with the science and mathematics studies in the last three years of the course. During the first year of the course students will be expected to select a major subject area in which they wish to specialize. It is anticipated that the depth to which the major subject Is studied will be such as to obtain recognition for the degree as a general professional qualification appro- priate to the major subject. Graduates of BSc ( Ед ) courses may apply for admission to postgraduate courses of the faculty of Science. Students are reminded that entry to honours level courses in mathematics occurs at the second year of the course. See Chapter 7 for details. Bachelor of Science in Forestry See Chapter 8 for details. Bachelor of Science (Optometry) See Chapter 9 for details. Bachelor of Science in Forestry (Honours) See Chapter 8 for details. Master of Science This degree may be obtained on the completion of not less than one year's advanced studies with experimental and observational work, sub- sequent to the completion of the course for the BSc (Honours) degree. The work must be undertaken within the University, unless the candidate has obtained special permission from the Faculty of Science to work elsewhere.
19 FACULTY OF SCIENCE
Bachelors of Science of at least four years' standing may qualify for the Master's Degree on submission of a satisfactory thesis based on original work in a branch of Science approved by the faculty. Mester of Science in Forestry See Chapter 8 for details. Master of Science in Optometry See Chapter 9 for details. Doctor of Philosophy This is a degree for full-time research workers. A candidate must be a graduate of this or some other University recognized for the purpose, must be of such standing as may required by the Professorial Board for graduates in his faculty, and must be accepted as such by the Professorial Board on the recommendation of the head of the department concerned. He must have had two years' approved research experience and must pursue for at least two years a course of advanced study and research under a supervisor or supervisors appointed by the board, and on its completion must present a satisfactory thesis embodying the results of his research. The only part-time candidates who are accepted by the Professorial Board are full-time members of staff. (See regulation 3.60 University Calendar.) Doctor of Science This degree is gained by thesis only. Candidates must be Bachelors of Science of at least five years' standing or graduates of the same standing in another faculty who satisfy the Faculty of Science that they have received an adequate scientific training. They must have already made substantial published contributions to Science, and must submit their published work together with any unpublished work they may deem appropriate. The subject or subjects dealt with must be approved by the faculty. Three copies of each thesis must be submitted.
POLICIES GOVERNING ADMISSION 1973 Quotas and Selection In view of the shortage of staff and accommodation, the University Council has placed a restriction on the number of students permitted to enrol in all subjects of the Science course and in the faculty as a whole. Selection of students into the faculty is made through the Victorian Universities Admissions Committee. This committee is the official body set up for receipt of applications for selection of undergraduates to the universities of the state of Victoria. The office of the committee is on the ground floor, 450 St Kilda Road, Melbourne 3004. Applications must be lodged before 31 October (E-type) and 20 November (N-type). Categories of Applicants and Selection Formula There are two categories of applicant. Normal Applicants (N): These comprise all those applicants who, as full-time scholars, have passed the Higher School Certificate examination in one or more of the three years prior to the year of selection and sat for the examination in 1972, provided: (a) that no attempt at any subject of the examination had been made at any time prior to the three years; 20 GENERAL INFORMATION
(b) that no form of tertiary education has ever been attempted. An applicant who has not previously passed the Higher School Certificate examination and who has entered for English Expression and at least three other subjects in 1972 will be considered a normal applicant. Should he later fall to pass the examination his application will be ignored. Exceptional Applicants (E): These comprise all other applicants. For type 'N' applicants, a common selection formula will be used for all three universities. Details of the basis of this formula are sent to schools in the state.
UNIVERSITY GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF SELECTION FOR FIRST-YEAR COURSES (Including revisions adopted by the University Couпсil, July, 1972)
SELECTION COMMITTEE The selection committee for each course shall consist of the Dean of the Faculty or the Chairman of the Board of Studies concerned and such other members as may be approved by the Professorial Board on the recommendation of that Faculty or Board of Studies. If any member of a selection committee is unable to act, the Chairman of the Professorial Board may approve the appointment of a substitute, on the recommenda- tion of the Dean of the Faculty or the Chairman of the Board of Studies concerned. Each selection committee shall have power to reach decisions on a majority vote and shall report its decisions to the Professorial Board as soon as possible. Such report shall include a list of those applicants who were selected afd enrolled. APPLICATIONS Applicants for selection in a quote must submit applications on the pre- scribed form by the date set down in the list of Principal Dates. No application for selection lodged after the due date shall be considered unless the selection committee concerned is satisfied that special cir- cumstances exist justifying the late application. Persons of aboriginal extraction seeking admission to the University will, if they so wish, be considered by the Professorial Board under Regula- tion 1.1.2. Persons wishing to be considered under this resolution should make application to the Registrar. SELECTION 1. Each selection committee shall be responsible for selecting, up to the number fixed by Council, those applicants who are considered most likely to pursue successfully the course concerned. 2. (a) Selection shall be based primarily on academic merit as judged by reference to results in the Victorian Higher School Certificate Examina- tion. Provided that the qualifications of the applicants who have not attempted the Victorian H.S.C. Examination shall be equated as far as possible with the H.S.C. Examination. (b) Selection committees may also take into account: (i) The results of any subsequent examinations attempted. (ii) The age of applicants when attempting the examination under consideration.
21 FACULTY OF SCIENCE
(iii) Any illness, war or military service, or other serious cause, as a result of which the studies or performance of an ap- plicant have, in the opinion of the committee, been ham- pered. (iv) Physical handicaps or defects. (v) The number of years spent preparing for the Victorian Higher School Certificate Examination. This is to be con- sidered only where the original scoring puts a candidate who did not sit in his first year of preparation for the H.S.C. in a marginal position in the order-of-merit list. (vi) Information revealed by such interviews as the selection committee may conduct. (vii) Any other factors approved by the Professorial Board and the Council on the recommendation of the Faculty or Board of Studies concerned. (c) Headmasters' reports shall not be taken into consideration, ex- cept in cases of illness or where an applicant has applied for a place in the succeeding year's quota. (d) No weight shall be given to the order of an applicant's course preferences, i.e., a first preference of one applicant is not to rate above a lower preference of another candidate with a higher selection score. 3. In assessing academic merit as judged by reference to results in the Melbourne Matriculation Examination, the formula adopted by the Vic- tonal Universities Admissions Committee shall be used. Provided that: (i) Prerequisites approved by the Professorial Board and the Council may be included in the 'best four subjects'. (ii) Where prerequisite subjects must be included in the basic quota score, an applicant who has had more than one sitting at the Matriculation Examination shall be credited with the best of his prerequisites from any sitting, with the proviso that, in order to be credited with the marks of a prerequisite taken at any sitting, a can- didate must have passed in three subjects other than 'English Expression' at that sitting. (iii) Special debits and bonuses may be applied if stated in special principles of selection recommended by a Faculty or Board of Studies and approved by the Professorial Board and the Council.
