The Bachelor of Science is designed to provide high quality studies in a wide range of science and technology disciplines. Students take four introductory science/maths units and can then select combinations of disciplines relevant to their interests and aspirations in a wide range of professions in science and technology, combinations not offered in other degrees. In addition, the course can be structured as a suitable entry degree for a range of postgraduate research degrees in maths and sciences or professional courses such as dietetics and occupational therapy. A range of majors (Surf Science and Coastal Environmental Science) are offered exclusively in Bunbury. |
