Course outline

Solve environmental crises, advance medical research or drive positive change. Get the tools to make a difference. Science is at the heart of every facet of life. It is a fascinating career choice, with research and development at its core. In this degree you’ll study all areas of sciences before specialising with your choice of major or double major. If you study a double major, you can still graduate in three years. You’ll have the flexibility to decide what interests you the most, so you can shape a career that you’re passionate about in the biological, clinical, chemical, physical or mathematical sciences. You’ll develop critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills, so you can make an impact in your science career from day one. You’ll have access to experts from renowned research centres who are focused on solving the big problems that face us today. They’re developing new drugs to combat cancer and infectious diseases, new sources of energy to power our society, and new ways to manage our waterways and improve food production, to name a few. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a range of practical, hands-on learning, which may include internships, industry placements, national and international field trips and leading research projects.
