About this course

The perfect introduction to a career in science

Our Diploma of Science is an inspiring introduction to all areas of science. You will develop knowledge and skills that equip you with confidence in the laboratory and prepare you for further science study.

Study a Diploma of Science at UC and you will:
  • gain a broad understanding of all areas of science
  • learn the practical skills and knowledge needed for laboratory careers
  • develop independent study skills
  • build your communication skills, and
  • cover biology, chemistry, physical science, mathematics and English communication.
Study opportunities
When you finish you will get 18 credit points to enter the following science related degrees:
*
Bachelor of Science
*
Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science)
*
Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science)
Note: you will automatically receive 18 credit points, which minimises the amount of study you will have to complete in your undergraduate course. However, this amount of credit impacts your ability to undertake a Breadth Major, should this be something you are interested in pursuing. There is no right or wrong way to use your UCC Diploma credit, but you should seek course advice during Professional Orientation (11718) to ensure your priorities for your study are met.
For students intending to enter:
*
Bachelor of Medical Science
when you finish, you will get 9 credit points.
