TEACHING PERIODS (previously referred to as “Semesters”) and STUDY PERIODS

The academic year is divided into two Teaching Periods (1 January to 30 June and 1 July to 31 December). Teaching Periods (TP) were previously known as semesters. Within the two Teaching Periods are 12 main study periods. Each Study Period (SP) has a designated start and end date, census date, date for withdrawal without academic penalty, and date for release of subject results. The majority of subjects will fall in either Study Period 1 (SP1) or Study Period 2 (SP2). Block Mode subjects (levels 2 to 5) may fall in Study Periods 3 to 11.

BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE

The core subjects for the Aquaculture major are listed below.

BACHELOR OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Advances in genetic engineering, cell culture, molecular biology and agriculture have rapidly generated new applications for biological products, and an increasing variety of job opportunities in the field. This field is now seen as a solid career option by domestic and overseas students, and the establishment of a biotechnology degree allows JCU to focus its existing subject offerings and position itself as a provider of cutting-edge science in the region.

BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING – BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Multiple combinations are possible between any major of engineering and most of the BSc majors. See Associate Dean for details.

BACHELOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Environmental science applies knowledge from the biological, physical and social sciences to the study of environmental problems. Environmental scientists use their cross-disciplinary training to work in a range of private and public organisations involved in the solution of environmental problems. The Bachelor of Environmental Science is a three year course (with the option of honours for high achievers) which provides specialised training for students interested in professional work in the environmental science fields.

There are opportunities to include electives that allow some level of additional areas of specialisation within the degree, framed around core environmental science subjects.

BACHELOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Modern business and society are increasingly computer reliant. In recent years the Internet, the WWW and computer networks have become essential everyday business tools. The people who make these computer systems work are called Information Technology (IT) professionals. Not surprisingly, the IT industry is one of the world's prestige industries and IT graduates can expect exciting and rewarding careers, anywhere in the world. All nine Bachelor of Information Technology majors have been approved by the Australian Computer Society at the highest level, the Professional level.

Within the BInfTech some majors include preparation for Industry Certificates from Cisco (the Cisco Certified Networking Associate) and Microsoft (the Microsoft Certified System Engineer) and Oracle.

The BInfTech course features a unique-to-JCU program of real IT work experience on real IT industry projects, and all BInfTech students can choose to participate. A private company, NQ-ITX (North Queensland IT eXperience), has been established by students and staff of the School of IT to provide advanced level industry experience and business skilling. All NQ-ITX involvement builds the student's CV, skills and job readiness. Students will emerge from their studies with an uncommon level of business and IT skills, ready for employment or ready to create their own ICT intensive business. Project work within NQ-ITX provides:

• project work within project teams that counts towards BInfTech project subjects;

• real work experience on real industry jobs giving critical hard-core IT skills;

• the demands of meeting real deadlines and satisfying real performance measures give operational business skills for real people and project management skills.

This degree prepares students for work in a wide range of IT intensive industries. It combines a solid basis of computing theory with practical knowledge and skills in software (languages), software engineering, multimedia, databases and networking. Specialisation is provided in the nine majors of Industry Professional, Bioinformatics, Business Computing, General Computing, E-business Entrepreneurship, Computer Technology, Specific Application, Geographic Information Systems and Multimedia Game Development.

Please note that you should follow the subjects set out in your major for the year you STARTED that major, eg if you transferred into BInfTech (Industry Professional) in 2003 you are required to look up the 2003 major on the School of Information Technology website to select your subjects. If some subjects have been discontinued and you have any problems please contact the School of Information Technology.

For this rapidly changing field, prior to enrolment students are advised to verify subject and course specifications from the school web site, www.it.jcu.edu.au. The study programs shown are typical for the major chosen, but may be varied due to program development and/or with the approval of the Head of School of Information Technology.

Note that the testamur for a Bachelor of Information Technology does not show the major studied.

BACHELOR OF MARINE SCIENCE

The Bachelor of Marine Science is specifically designed for students who wish to pursue a career in marine science. The course provides two pathways; the Bachelor of Marine Science or the Bachelor of Marine Science (Tropical Marine Network Program). They are differentiated by the cross-institutional subject requirements of the Tropical Marine Network Program. Each of the pathways provides students with breadth in the discipline as well as flexibility to follow their own interests. Emphasis is given to scientific breadth in life and physical marine sciences and to generic skills that enable the student to respond to changes in the job market for marine science in Australia.
