Enrolment Information

Science component: MZB104 Quantitative Methods / MZB105 Introduction to Calculus
Unit selection guide
You have a choice between these two units. Here is a guidance on which of the units to select -

if you intend to undertake the Biological Sciences or Environmental Science major or Chemistry major, MZB104 is recommended for these majors
if you intend to undertake the Physics major, MZB105 is recommended for this major
if you intend to undertake the Climate Science or Earth Science major, you can choose either unit.

For students that have completed MXB100 or MZB125, or have MXB100 core to their primary major e.g. Chemistry, will need to select MZB104.

Science component: PVB306 Solid State Physics & Quantum Statistics and PVB307 Physics in Practice
For Physics Major students – PVB306 and PVB307 are 6 credit points (cp) each and are designed to be taken together in the same teaching period. Collectively, they have the workload of a single 12 credit point unit. Timetabled activities for both units will be distributed across the semester, with lectures and tutorials scheduled in alternate weeks, and laboratory activities held during selected weeks. Taking PVB306 (6cp) and PVB307 (6cp) with 3 other 12cp units in the same semester will still equate to the standard full-time study load of 48cp.
