Unit offering (2026)

The Monash Handbook is your primary source for finding information about units and courses.

The section below provides an overview of units offered by the School of Science, as well as core units for science courses that are administered by other schools.

Units listed here can be taken as electives if they are not core units for your enrolled course. You are required to enrol manually for BIO3820, FST3800, MBS3800, SCI3800 and SCI3990 using Enrolment amendment form. If you experience any difficulties enrolling in other units, you can submit Enrolment amendment form for assistance.
