Bachelor of Science

Bachelor · 3 years

The Bachelor of Science is a flexible undergraduate degree that lets students major in one or more scientific disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, environmental science, genetics, or geology, among others. It suits students who want to keep options open or move toward research and postgraduate study.

What’s covered

  • Foundation studies in core sciences
  • A chosen major (and often a minor)
  • Laboratory and field-based work
  • Research methods and scientific communication
  • Optional honours year for research pathways

Visa pathway

A completed CRICOS-registered Bachelor of Science generally qualifies graduates for the Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa. Some science specialisations align with occupations on Australia’s skilled lists, though many graduates continue to postgraduate or research study.

Entry requirements

  • Year 12 or international equivalent, with relevant science and maths prerequisites
  • IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (institute-specific)
