About the Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science draws on the expertise of leading teachers and researchers from an extensive range of science, technology and engineering areas. The degree will provide students with foundation knowledge to equip them to engage in global issues, as well as contributing to their resolution.
Undertaking one of the comprehensive 'Majors' offered; including cross-disciplinary studies, will provide students with a scientific basis for understanding the natural and constructed world around them. There is also an opportunity for students to further enrich their degree through non-academic experiences such as exchange programs.
The degree can also be the first step in the development of a career in professional science, engineering or health practice through pursuing further study.
At Melbourne, the scientific thought process learnt is every bit as important as knowledge gained. High academic standards give students strong quantitative, problem-solving and numerical skills highly prized by employers. These skills are transferable and lead our graduates into a range of industries including health, community services, manufacturing, construction, mining, banking and finance, insurance, education, and scientific research.
