Changes to Maths requirement for Bachelor of Environmental Science The mathematics prerequisites for the Bachelor of Environmental Science and the double degrees with Business (Management) and Environment and Society have changed from a VCE Units 3 & 4 study score of at least 20 in “Mathematical Methods” to "a mathematics" (i.e. Further, Methods or Specialist). New double degree: Chemical Engineering/Pharmaceutical Sciences Gain an end-‐to-‐end understanding of how pharmaceutical products are designed and developed, as well as their process involved in the large scale production.
From Semester 1, 2017, RMIT will be offering a 4-‐year double degree in Chemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Sciences. As the pharmaceutical industry expands in Australia and world-‐wide, an understanding of the engineering process and other scientific fields involved in drug development and production, will ensure students are well equipped to work across a range of roles. Students will gain a thorough understanding of the principles of chemical engineering and pharmaceutical sciences, allowing them to apply their knowledge to large-‐scale production in the pharmaceutical industry.
Students will need to complete at least 12 weeks of engineering industry experience – allowing them to gain first-‐hand experience in an engineering environment under the supervision of a professional engineer. There are also opportunities for an overseas work placement of between six and 12 months (this satisfies the work experience requirement). These placements are normally taken during a one-‐year break in the middle or at the end of the third year of the degree.
Current Year 12 VCE prerequisites are: Units 3 and 4 – a study score of at least 20 in Chemistry and in Mathematical Methods (CAS); and a study score of at least 25 in any English (except EAL) or at least 30 in English (EAL).

Career as a Paramedic Working as a paramedic means that no two days are ever the same. Ambulance paramedics are called when people feel they have no other options and are suffering what feels like an emergency to them. An interesting fact to remember when applying to become a paramedic is that the majority of the workload is not lights and sirens driving to save a patient's life. This job is more about helping people in their time of need as opposed to being a hero.
