Foundation Studies Program (Fast Track) - Physical Science (X0G:5) (0100809) + Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology and Bachelor of Science - Food Innovation and Safety (93H) (102982H)

Program Description Foundation Studies Program (Fast Track) - Physical Science (X0G:5) (0100809):

The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology and Bachelor of Science - Food Innovation and Safety (93H):

The double degree allows students to deepen their knowledge and expertise within two separate study areas. This means students can choose from University of Tasmania’s range of exciting, diverse courses and they can embark on a journey as unique as they are.

The University of Tasmania’s science degree provides students with a foundation of core skills in science, analysis, and rational thinking. They have options to focus their studies in one or more scientific disciplines and learn the methods to apply their skills and knowledge to the practical needs of industry, business, and government in both scientific and non-scientific roles.

The BICT is a specialist degree with both a theoretical and practical focus. It develops technological understanding and skills that are in high demand world-wide, plus builds project management and other business soft-skills that make students an ICT professional.

Food Innovation and Safety focuses on post-farm gate value adding (e.g. fermentation science), safety and quality of food products. It takes advantage of, and contributes to, the vibrant SME food industry sector in Tasmania which requires graduates with training in food analysis, production, new product development and processing technologies to contribute to innovation in the industry.

Students get an opportunity to learn about Food and Fibre Production in a Global Market, Introduction to Chemistry, General Microbiology, Fermented Food and Beverages, Advanced Food Safety Management, Food Microbiology, Developing Innovative Food Products and Food Composition and Analysis.
