Overview - SCI |
|
The Faculty of Science seeks to provide graduates with interesting and rewarding careers. Fully equipped scientific and computing laboratories and state-of-the art lecture theatres assist in the practical delivery of innovative teaching programs. Science education in the Faculty is further enriched by a number of research programs and QUT's multidisciplinary research institutes (in particular the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation and the institute for Sustainable Resources). The Deans Scholars Accelerated Honours Program for high achieving students fast tracks science studies while workplace learning links with industry provide students with the opportunity to earn a salary while progressing through their degree. Double degree options are available as part of a flexible program of academic studies. The Bachelor of Pharmacy course offered at Gardens Point focuses on community and hospital pharmacy practice. The Faculty offers a range of courses within its four multi-disciplinary schools: School of Life Sciences, School of Mathematical Sciences, School of Natural Resource Sciences and School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. The School of Life Sciences offers studies in courses focused on biomedical and medical sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, and biochemistry. The School enjoys close working relationships with industry which, in turn, help to provide students with a 'hands-on' approach to all of its courses. The School of Mathematical Sciences offers studies in applied mathematics, mathematical finance, applied statistics, scientific computation and visualisation, and operations research. There is an emphasis on the applications of mathematics and many of the units are enriched by examples from business and industry. The School of Natural Resource Sciences offers major studies in environmental science, ecology and geoscience, complemented with the co-majors in biodiversity, and applied geology. The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences offers majors in both Physics and Chemistry with co-majors in astrophysics, forensic science and industrial chemistry. Forensic science can also be taken as a double major with chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology or microbiology. The School also offers courses in medical radiation technology with majors in medical imaging technology and radiotherapy technology, which lead to a career as a diagnostic radiographer or radiation therapist respectively. The first year of the Applied Science course is offered at the Carseldine campus as well as at Gardens Point.
