Course overview

The Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive degree spanning science, mathematics, health science, technology and engineering systems at the cutting edge of new technology and knowledge. It provides you with the opportunity to tailor a program of study to suit your individual strengths and career goals. Students planning to commence the Bachelor of Science mid-year should note that a number of majors or specialisations within some majors cannot be completed within three years (six semesters) from a mid-year start date due to subject availability. However, if a student is entering with advanced standing that is relevant to the major they may be able to complete in three years (six semesters), but that would need to be assessed. You should pay close attention to prerequisite subjects in the degree and when they are offered to avoid any unnecessary delays to your course.
