Why choose the Bachelor of Science

Broad opportunities

The Bachelor of Science allows students to undertake studies in a wide range of science, technology and engineering areas.

Diverse first year experiences

There are no compulsory subjects in the Bachelor of Science; therefore students can tailor their subjects to suit their own interests. It also means that in first year, students can explore a number of different areas of interest.

Single discipline or multidisciplinary majors

Pathways to many careers

The Bachelor of Science prepares graduates for increasingly inter- and multi-disciplinary science careers by offering 35 majors in areas such as:

Wherever science graduates are employed, in cutting-edge research laboratories or in the applied sciences, their breadth of knowledge about the sciences and focused specialisation by way of a major will place them in the best position to excel in their chosen career.
