Bachelor of Science

Understand the world around us and how it works

Science is about exploring the natural world, seeking to understand its mysteries, and developing solutions to challenges we face in society. It underpins a broad spectrum of fields, including technology, environmental management, business, research, and health. By studying science, you will complement and enhance your knowledge while developing critical business and communication skills.

Complete both programs in only one extra year of study and graduate with two degrees, increasing your in-demand skills and employability in broad and varied areas such as environmental and climate science, pharmaceuticals and biomedical research, geoscience, physics and engineering, and science communication and policy.

Bachelor of Science students are encouraged to consider concurrent enrolment in the Bachelor of Applied Data Science program.

A career in science is increasingly data-driven. From climate modelling to biomedical research, the ability to manage, interpret, and visualise data is essential. By combining a science major with the Bachelor of Applied Data Science, students gain advanced data analysis and visualisation skills, confidence in programming and database management, and tools for evidence-based decision-making.
