Bachelor of Sustainability (BSust) majoring in Zoology
From 2027, eight core papers for the Bachelor of Sustainability (BSust) programme will use the SUST paper code prefix. Students enrolling in the BSust for 2027 will see the SUST papers (SUST 101, SUST 102, SUST 111, SUST 204, SUST 211, SUST 280, SUST 311, SUST 337) listed as core requirements when selecting papers in eVision.
No changes to papers MAOR 202 or MAOR 204 for 2027.
Current students who wish to change their programme of study to the Bachelor of Sustainability (BSust), and have completed any of the core papers under their existing paper codes, will be able to credit these towards the core requirements for the BSust through the course variation process.

Every Bachelor of Sustainability programme must include the core papers listed below or the equivalent SUST coded papers, as well as the required papers for the major subject.
