This degree offers flexibility in science education
yet provides in-depth training in at least one
specialised area. Your options range from
cutting-edge theoretical and applied science to
new interdisciplinary fields. In the first year, you
will sample from a wide range of units before
choosing the major sequence that suits your
interest in the second year.
Science graduates have diverse and interesting
careers, but not all become scientists. A special
feature of the course allows you to pursue
non-science units at different schools, e.g.,
journalism, psychology, management, to form
a study plan that suits your individual needs and
career aspirations. You can also supplement
a major with a minor sequence.

been fun. The lecturers
and tutors are able to
provide a clear

great facilities and good
ambience.”
