Bachelor of Science (Science)
Curtin University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00301J
This course enables students to pursue their interest in science by choosing at least one science major available from the Faculty of Science and Engineering. There are opportunities for students to complete a double major for the duration of their study. Extension specialisations associated with each major are also available for students. Science specialisations are also available for students to choose alongside their chosen major. These specialisations require pre-requisite studies at the first-year level. Students are also able to choose minors which do not have pre-requisites at first year to augment their science studies.

Standard entry requirements
Applicants for a Bachelor Degree are required to meet University academic and English language entry standards: details are provided at http://study.curtin.edu.au/ and include flexible entry pathways. Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also be met. All Curtin courses have compulsory and other core capabilities that are essential for demonstrating the achievement of course learning outcomes and graduation. Students who are unable to meet or demonstrate those requirements, now or in later stages during their studies, may seek reasonable adjustments by the University wherever possible to facilitate alternative ways of achieving those requirements. If reasonable adjustments cannot be accommodated, Curtin will discuss study options to find an alternative course of study or an exit degree. Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also be met.
Study pathways
Honours is available as an additional one year course following completion of this degree. A Science and Engineering Enabling Course is available for students who do not meet the entrance requirements. This allows students to study all prerequisites required in the areas of engineering, science, health and information technology.
