In this degree, you'll expand your interest in both science and arts by exploring the links between the two study areas through your choice of majors. In your final year, you can complete a 'capstone' experience engaging with university research, undertaking an extended fieldwork program or completing an industry placement.

As a graduate, you'll be skilled in scientific methods with a broad knowledge set leading to opportunities in science research, communication and decision making.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

Accreditation will vary depending upon your choice of major:

• The Chemistry major is accredited by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).
• The Physics major is accredited by the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP).

Depending on your Science major, you will be prepared for work in environment-related jobs, for example as an environment consultant, environmental scientist or mine environment officer; in biological, chemical and clinical sciences as a microbiologist, pharmaceutical scientist, biochemist, chemist or biotechnologist; in physics and maths as a mathematician or physicist; or, with further study, in a broader role, for example as a patents officer or science teacher. You may also choose to undertake a fourth-year research Honours degree that can lead to a PhD and a career in research.

As a graduate of our Bachelor of Arts, you will have flexible, broad-based skills in writing, analysis and synthesis of information, research and policymaking. With these transferable skills, you will be able to shift easily from one occupation or industry to another.
