3 years Full time or 6 years Part time
The program is divided across a total of 24 units, typically completed within three years full time, or six years part time. This includes study of eight core program units which focus on building core science and communication skills, as well as work integrated learning. Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science then chose majors depending on their area of interest. Majors typically involve the study of eight units focused on an area of chosen specialty. The program can also be studied with up to two eight unit majors of specialisation. Students completing their chosen major then choose remaining elective units of study from across the university. This allows students enrolled with the Bachelor of Science a high degree of flexibility, enabling graduates to choose career paths aligned according to their interests.
