CSU's Bachelor of Science course is a vocationally-oriented course that produces graduates with a sound knowledge base in physical science and specialised studies in a number of majors.
The Bachelor of Science is a general science course with current majors in Analytical Chemistry, Mathematics, Spatial Science, Biology, Microbiology and Forensic Chemistry. It provides students with an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of much of modern scientific investigation, and produces highly employable graduates.
To make sure you are experienced using the equipment and techniques found in the workplace, our facilities include:
Students completing the Analytical Chemistry major must complete a minimum of six weeks industrial work experience to qualify for membership in the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
Students completing the Forensic Chemistry major, who take MTH101 and MTH102, and complete the six weeks industrial work experience, will also qualify for membership in the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
Credit packages are available, e.g: NSW TAFE Diploma of Chemical Technology (Chemistry major).

Distance education students usually study two subjects per session. Many subjects in this course have optional and/or compulsory residential school requirements. Most residential schools are of two to four days duration.
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.
