Course overview

With myriad majors and minors, craft a science degree that is uniquely yours with Bachelor of Science. In this course you will have the opportunity to experiment in our state-of-the-art laboratories while being mentored by leading scientists. You will also have the flexibility to go on field trips, take your studies overseas, or try an internship. Whether your passion lies in marine science or mathematics, physics or psychology, you'll be able to explore your interests and follow your passions with our most flexible science degree.

The Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours) provides the same breadth of opportunities as Bachelor of Science, with the addition of honours pathway options that are designed to extend your understanding and introduce you to concepts that are more advanced than standard course activities. This degree also offers a direct pathway into honours. (Progression requirements apply throughout the first three years of the degree to progress into the fourth honours year.)
