Bachelor of Science

This course provides students the opportunity to engage in high quality studies across a range of science and mathematics disciplines.

Students specialise in a single major discipline aligned to their interests and aspirations and select a secondary minor area of study to broaden their skills and knowledge base. Students also have a great opportunity to gain real world experience through a semester long work integrated learning placement, the only one of its kind in Australia. This course also provides a strong pathway into the Master of Teaching course for those aspiring to becomes science or mathematics teachers.

Students studying on the South West (Bunbury) Campus can select a major in Conservation Biology or Environmental Management, and minors in Conservation Biology, Data Science or Environmental Management.

This course has been accredited by ECU as an AQF Level 7 Bachelor Degree Award.
