The Bachelor of Science is a flexible degree that incorporates a wide range of subjects with career-focused science specialisations. Students can focus on an area of professional practice by choosing a specialisation. Alternatively, they may choose a major from Applied Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Environmental Solutions or a shared major from disciplines across the University. Core skills and knowledge are reinforced and expanded across the three-year program, finishing with capstone research projects in Impactful Science and Practice. The Bachelor of Science is characterised by a high level of practical and field experience in all years, making the most of our easy access to a variety of subtropical terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems.
