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, so you can 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.
In addition to your chosen science major, you’ ll have the option to use your electives to extend your major to add depth, add a second major or a minor, or study a range of units from across the University.

SCIENCE
CHOOSE YOUR SCIENCE AREA
MAJOR / MINOR MAJOR
MAJOR
Applied microbiology
Explore microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses, and their application in improving health in areas related to industrial processes, agriculture, medicine, genetic engineering, food and bioremediation. You can avoid food spoilage, prevent the spread of infectious diseases, or solve environmental problems by removing pollutants using beneficial microbes.
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.
Food science and business
Develop a broad view from food production to business, bridging the gap in delivering nutritious, safe, affordable, and sustainable food products to the global market. Choose from three streams: strategic marketing, management, or digital marketing.
MAJOR MAJOR
MAJOR / MINOR
Genomics and bioinformatics
Decipher the total genetic makeup of organisms using 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
Design, develop, and determine the 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
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.
MAJOR / MINOR MINOR
MINOR
Tropical environmental biology
Study the behaviour of living systems with a strong focus on ecological and environmental issues of global importance such as climate change, biodiversity, sustainability and conservation. You acquire greater awareness of our living earth and help mitigate climate change issues.
Chemistry
Explore 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
Study the structure, function, transmission and evolution of genes. Genetics underpins many exciting areas such as biomedical science, conservation biology and forensics.
