The attendance pattern for the Bachelor of Science is full time or part time according to student choice, whereas the attendance pattern for the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics is full time only.

The Bachelor of Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics is available in the following stream:

Dalyell.

Completion of a stream is not a requirement of the Bachelor of Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics. The requirements for the completion of each stream are as specified in Table A for the Bachelor of Science or, in the case of the Dalyell stream, in Table S of the Shared Pool for Undergraduate Degrees.

Candidates wishing to transfer between streams should contact the Student Centre.

Candidates who qualify for the Dalyell stream may complete that stream while also completing another stream.

The master's degree in these resolutions is a professional master's course, as defined by the Coursework Rule. It is accredited by the Dietitians Association of Australia.

Admission to this course is on the basis of a secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents), tertiary study or an approved preparation program. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English. Special admission pathways are open for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Applicants are ranked by merit and offers for available places are issued according to the ranking. Details of admission policies are found in the Coursework Rule and the Coursework Policy.

Admission to the Dalyell stream requires achievement of a minimum tertiary admission rank (ATAR) set by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies, or equivalent standard.

The units of study that may be taken for the course are set out in:

Table A for the Bachelor of Science;

Table S of the Shared Pool for Undergraduate Degrees;

Table O of the Shared Pool for Undergraduate Degrees; and

The Table of units for the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics from the Faculty of Science.

In these resolutions, except where otherwise specified, Table A, Table S and Table O mean Table A, Table S and Table O as specified here.

To qualify for the award of both degrees a candidate must successfully complete 240 credit points, comprising:

144 credit points to qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Science as specified in resolutions for the Bachelor of Science, including:

12 credit points of mathematics degree core units of study as set out in Table A (students may count the units from their major(s) or minor(s) to fulfil this requirement);

12 credit points of 1000-level science elective units of study (excluding units listed as Mathematics degree core) as set out in Table A (students may count the units from their major(s) or minor(s) to fulfil this requirement);

a program (72 credit points) in Nutrition and Dietetics as defined in Section 7 below and specified in Table A;

a minor (36 credit points) or second major (48 credit points) as defined in Table A or Table S;

12 credit points of units of study in the Open Learning Environment as listed in Table O;

where appropriate, elective units from Table A and Table S; and

if enrolled in a stream, complete the requirements for the stream as specified in Table A or Table S.

96 credit points for the award of the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics as required by the resolutions and Table of units for the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Completion of a program in Nutrition and Dietetics from Table A for the Bachelor of Science is a requirement for this double degree.

Completion of a minor or second major from Table A or Table S is a requirement for this double degree.

The minors and majors available as second majors in the Bachelor of Science are as specified in Table A and Table S.

Candidates must complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science with a Weighted Average Mark of at least 65 in order to be eligible to proceed to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Candidates who complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science but fail to achieve a WAM of 65 will not progress to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics and will be awarded the Bachelor of Science only.

With the permission of the Dalyell coordinator, candidates in the Dalyell Stream may attempt units at higher levels than the usual sequence.

Candidates must achieve an Annual Average Mark at a level determined by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies or over for each 48 credit-point block to continue in the Dalyell Stream. Candidates who do not maintain an Annual Average Mark at the level determined by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies may continue in any other stream into which they were admitted, major, program or minor but will not remain in the Dalyell Stream.

Honours in the Bachelor of Science is available to meritorious candidates who have completed requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, by suspending candidature, with the permission of the Faculty of Science, in the double degree for one year, enrolling in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies and taking an embedded honours component in an additional year of full time study.

The grade of honours in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies will be determined by an honours mark calculated from work in the embedded honours component as specified in Table A and the Resolutions of the Faculty of Science.

The Bachelor of Science is awarded at Pass level. Honours in science is taken by enrolling in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies and completing an embedded honours component.

Candidates who attempt the Bachelor of Science with an embedded honours component in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies who do not meet the requirements for honours but who meet the requirement for the pass degree, may be awarded the relevant degree or degrees at pass level for which they fulfil requirements.

The Master of Nutrition and Dietetics is awarded as a Pass degree only.

A candidate may abandon the double degree program and elect to complete the Bachelor of Science in accordance with the resolutions governing that degree. Completion of the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics in the future will require a new application for admission to that course and completion in accordance with the resolutions governing that degree.

With the permission of the Faculty of Science, suitably qualified candidates may, after completing requirements for the Bachelor of Science, defer progression to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics and undertake an embedded honours component in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies and then, upon completion of the Bachelor of Advanced Studies, continue to the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics.

A candidate who has suspended enrolment in the double degree program to enrol in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies to complete requirements of honours or a stream may, with the permission of the Faculty of Science, abandon the Bachelor of Advanced Studies and enrol in the Master of Nutrition and Dietetics.

These resolutions apply to students who commenced their candidature after 1 January, 2018 who are not seeking credit for prior study and students who commenced their candidature prior to 1 January, 2018 who elect to proceed under these resolutions. Students who commenced their candidature prior to 1 January 2018 who elect to transfer and proceed under these resolutions should note that the University does not undertake to offer 4000 level honours units in the Bachelor of Advanced Studies degree prior to 2020 and 2000 and 3000 level units of study prior to 2019 and that it may not be possible to complete requirements for the Bachelor of Advanced Studies before the end of Semester 2 2020 or the Bachelor of Science before the end of Semester 2 2019.

Candidates who commenced prior to 1 January 2018 may complete the requirements in accordance with the resolutions in force at the time of their commencement, provided that the requirements are completed by 1 January 2027.
