Faculty of Science, University of Melbourne

Encyclopedia : F : FA : FAC : Faculty of Science, University of Melbourne

The Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne is one of the oldest science faculties in Australia (est. 1903). It teaches a substantial number of undergraduate and postgraduate students (over 6,500), as well as being a significant centre for scientific research. The number of courses offered is quite low, as most students are enrolled in the Bachelor of Science and specialize by choosing a major (eg. Physics or Biology).

For 2005 the (start of year) intake of local students into the Bachelor of Science was 787. This was down from 845 in 2004 (Source: VTAC Guide 2005, VTAC Guide 2006). Possible factors include the declining popularity of science degrees in Australia, and the recent increase in HECS fees.
