Summary

The Bachelor of Arts has been reimagined by our world-leading academics in consultation with industry partners and public-sector organisations, so you can be assured you’ll acquire the transferable and technical skills needed for success in today’s and tomorrow’s workplaces. Our approach allows you to turn your passion into a career by exploring your interests in-depth, and by honing your skills and knowledge through practical experiences and expert teaching.

The Bachelor of Science is for those excited by discovery and who question the norm. You’ll learn from world-renowned researchers who are addressing the big issues facing our global society, such as the changing environment, future materials and fuels, and biotechnology. You’ll be able to study complementary disciplines or non-science units that feed your curiosity. And you’ll be part of a community that has led many significant initiatives in recent years, including early climate change research, photonics, evolutionary biology and groundbreaking research in earth’s crustal systems.
