Note, while there are no subject pre-requisites that must be met for the Bachelor of Science component of this combined degree some majors within the course require studies and experience equivalent to satisfactory performance in the following Tasmanian Senior Secondary subjects:

If you have not met a required pre-requisite, you will need to complete a University of Tasmania Foundation Studies Program before you start your course.

The modern economy relies heavily on skilled individuals in the fields of science, engineering and technology. As a result, a combined science and engineering degree delivers a powerful combination of practical skills and knowledge that is highly respected by employers.

If you're not sure where your degree might take you, don't worry! Many students start studying a combined science and engineering degree because they have multiple passions they want to follow, and don't know exactly where they will end up. During your studies, you will meet other students, academics and visiting lecturers, all of whom may spark an idea of where your particular blend of options could take you.

Career Opportunities with Science and Engineering

While career options are wide and varied, they typically fall into three main categories:

• Specialist knowledge related to your combination of specialisations
• Careers where a broad understanding of science is essential (e.g., teacher, journalism, policy advisor).
• Careers using generic skills obtained during your degree (e.g., public relations, business manager, marketing, government and local councils).

At the University of Tasmania, in addition to specialised scientific knowledge and skills, our focus is on giving you the practical and professional skills that are highly sought after by all employers – creative problem-solving, working in a team environment and flexibility of thinking. We teach you how to think, not what to think.

A career in science and engineering can be in any industry on earth. It will come to where your passion takes you.
