About this course

The Bachelor of Science is a flexible program allowing you to major in biology, biotechnology, chemistry, environmental science, food science or physics.

This program allows specialisation and/or generalisation and cross-disciplinary combinations of studies.

You can study an undergraduate qualification in science with a major in one of the following areas:

  • biology
  • chemistry
  • physics

By tailoring your program through the elective courses you have the flexibility to combine your major field of study with a variety of other science courses.

You will be studying with leading researchers and industry leaders in state-of-the-art facilities allowing you to gain skills that are readily transferable to industry.

Practical experiences are fundamental to the program and you’ll get the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to projects. You’ll also have access to state-of-the-art equipment to ensure you are job-ready when you graduate.

Why study science at RMIT?

  1. RMIT’s applied science degrees give you the flexibility and freedom to shape your own path and a chance to explore a broad range of scientific disciplines at all levels of study.
  2. Studying with leading researchers in state-of-the-art facilities means the skills you gain can take you anywhere in the world.
  3. At RMIT you’ll go beyond the classroom and apply what you’ve learned to real-life problems. You’ll gain hands-on experience working in teams during field studies and excursions, locally and internationally.
