In many areas of scientific endeavour, knowledge across multiple disciplines has provided innovative solutions to important problems. A bachelor's degree in multidisciplinary science provides well-rounded and diverse capabilities across traditional science boundaries, and you will be ideally placed to develop a career that can span science, technology and mathematics.
Multidisciplinary science is a flexible course that allows you to design a major that suits your background and particular career goals. You have the freedom to personalise your study plan in consultation with faculty members in the relevant disciplines, while meeting the requirements for a degree in science.
This course can be used as an alternative pathway into other science, engineering and health science courses. You can undertake mathematics and science foundation units over one or two semesters to achieve the prerequisites for your desired course, and meet the required ATAR by achieving the minimum Course Weighted Average for entry.
You can choose to study a primary discipline from areas such as:
Biology
Chemistry
Computing
Geology
Mathematics
Physics.
*Note, some disciplines may take longer than 3 years of study, subject to having the essential WACE courses. See individual Bachelor of Science majors for required pre-requisites.
You can combine with a secondary Science discipline above, or go outside the physical sciences to areas such as:
Molecular or Human Biology (Genetics, Bioinformatics)
Social Sciences (Media, Education)
Spatial Sciences (Geographic Information).
Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.
