Bachelor of Science
UNSW Sydney
Type of institution: Higher Education Institutions
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00098G
Our flagship three-year degree has 24 majors and plenty of room to try out different areas of science. This Bachelor of Science allows students to study a wide range of science subjects as well as many other areas of interest. This degree is ideal if students love science, but aren't sure what field to specialise in. However, if students already know what they want to specialise in, the Bachelor of Science program can also be tailored right from the start.
Structure
Students are encouraged to choose a broad range of courses in first year, to expand their general understanding of science and enable them to choose from a wide selection of major options in second and third year. This gives students time to become more familiar with the different areas of science and to discuss possible majors with staff and other students along the way. However, if students already know what they want to specialise in, the Bachelor of Science program can also be tailored for them right from the start.
