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.

Note: UC College courses fees may differ – please visit our Course Fees page for more information.
