Constant technological disruption and new discoveries in science influence every aspect of life, meaning there has never been a better time to safeguard future careers with scientific knowledge and practical skills. With 17 majors to choose from, the Bachelor of Science is flexibly delivered by experts in research and teaching. Students tailor their degree towards generalist or specialist science, while developing a broad scientific base and refining abilities in critical analysis and complex problem solving. The majors span the pure and applied sciences, with specialisation available in traditional disciplines and emerging fields.
The Bachelor of Science provides students with a choice of 17 majors, with the opportunity to complete a second major or a complementary minor in communications, business or statistics. Students come from academically diverse backgrounds and go on to become active contributors in industry, education, government and research.
Students learn with industry leaders. UNE’s research in many areas of science has been rated above world average, with agricultural and veterinary science, environmental, and mathematical science rated well above world standard by the Australian Research Council’s most recent Excellence in Research for Australia report. UNE researchers are internationally renowned and collaborations with industry and government produce research of national and international significance.
The hands-on approach and small class sizes encourage and nurture creativity in a supportive, inquiry-rich learning environment, allowing students to build confidence, knowledge and skills through active engagement with peers and academic staff. The Bachelor of Science gives students the freedom to choose their direction and develop skills in communication and complex problem solving.
