Bachelor of Wildlife Science - External Offering
The School of Agriculture and Food Sciences have undertaken a review of the external mode of study for the Bachelor of Wildlife Science program, and have made the difficult decision to discontinue external enrolment into this program from 2022.
A teach out plan has been created to ensure exsiting students can continue to complete the program externally over the course of the next 6 years (2022 - 2027).
For further information please refer to 'Last Year External Mode Offered' tab and the 'Part-time study planner' tab to plan your remanining enrolment.
Note: courses will continue to be offered internally after the last year of the external offering.
