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 or more of the comprehensive 'fields of study' 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 expereinces 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.
