BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
KPT / JPT ( R2 / 421 / 6 / 0027 ) 10 / 25 - MQA / SWA0129
Study science at Monash and learn from leading experts whose research is shaping the world ’ s future .
This course provides you with a broad science education in your first year to let you explore your interests before you specialise in one or more areas that inspires you in your second year . This flexibility allows you to explore new areas , further develop your strengths in science , and pursue your interests beyond the area in which you specialise .
Science graduates have diverse and interesting careers . The flexibility of the training and interdisciplinary approach nurtures greater adaptability in our science graduates . Our graduates are scientists , analysts , journalist , environmental advocates , and some are attached to corporate companies as procurement , marketing and corporate personnel .
Get ready for the real world
Build your professional experience with a science-related internship , offered as an elective unit to Bachelor of Science students . This is a great way to prepare yourself for the demands of the real world . Leveraging on the industry partnerships across the country and region , we ’ ve worked with multinational companies throughout the years to place our students .
Areas of study
Applied microbiology 1 Study microorganisms such as bacteria , fungi , parasites and viruses . You can prevent food spoilage , stop the spread of infectious diseases , or solve environmental problems by removing pollutants .
Biotechnology Utilise biological systems and / or living organisms to develop new technologies and processes of value to the healthcare industry , agricultural and industrial sectors , and the environment .
Genomics and bioinformatics Study the total genetic makeup of organisms and the diverse range of analytical methods and tools applied to genomic data . These allied fields contribute to superior healthcare , enhanced food security and more .
Medicinal chemistry Study the design , development , biological activities and properties of drugs . You ’ ll learn how to seek new active chemical compounds from natural products such as rainforest plants , and design novel synthetic compounds .
Psychology 1
Study the human mind , mental processes and resulting behaviour . This is a broad scientific discipline that includes investigations of the brain , memory , perception , reasoning , and mental health and wellbeing .
Tropical environmental biology 1 Study the behaviour of living systems with a strong focus on ecological and environmental issues of global importance such as climate change , biodiversity and conservation .
Chemistry ( minor ) Study the science of matter and energy , how atoms and molecules react and interact , and how that behaviour can be harnessed to transform materials , medicine and technology .
Genetics and genomics ( minor ) Study the structure , function , transmission and evolution of genes . Genetics underpins many exciting areas such as biomedical science , conservation biology and forensics .
Follow our students into the rainforest as they take a close-up look at the biology of terrestrial tropical ecosystems in Southeast Asia .
1 Available as a minor .
