Bachelor of Science

The future will be stacked with challenges and innovations we can’t even begin to imagine. One thing for certain, however, will be the pivotal role scientists – particularly entrepreneurs and those with business, communication, investigative and policy skills – play in engaging with those challenges and innovations.

The Bachelor of Science is built around a foundational core and 11 majors. The core subjects will help you develop a broad understanding of scientific theory, practice and technique, while your major allows you to specialise in your area of key interest. Across your first and second years, you’ll put your classroom learning into practice via hands-on scientific projects. Then, in your final year, you’ll collaborate with students from across the 11 majors, as well as with government, industrial, research or educational institutions to tackle real-world problems. This apprenticeship-style work will help you develop the competencies and expertise desired by employers, such as innovative problem-solving, critical thinking, effective communication and organisational skills, and creativity.
