Bachelor of Science (Applied Science)/Bachelor of Business (Management)

Combining studies in applied sciences and business management, this degree is designed to prepare graduates for changing roles as they progress through their scientific career and into management roles.

Your management degree will give you a broad knowledge base of business, and the applied science component will allow you to specialise in one of six majors, giving you the flexibility to create an individualised degree.

You will have the technical skills of a practising scientist, as well as the business skills to be an effective manager and leader: a highly attractive combination for employers.

1. You will be working with expert researchers and industry leaders in state-of-the-art facilities, allowing you to gain skills that are readily transferable to industry.
2. In addition to studying courses from your chosen major, you can tailor your degree through electives. This gives you flexibility to combine your major field of study with a variety of other science courses.
3. You'll get the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to projects and practical experiences. You'll also have access to industry-grade equipment to ensure you are job-ready when you graduate.

A double degree broadens your career options and gives you a competitive edge.

With this range of transferable proficiencies and technical skills, RMIT science graduates are highly sought after.

You may choose to enter the commercial sector, pursue a career in teaching, or opt to continue your academic career in research at a master or PhD level.

Your journey in science could lead you to become the next molecular gastronomist, a materials chemist, a nuclear physicist, or perhaps even the next Nobel Laureate.

Depending on your area of study and your interests you could end up working in:

• analytical laboratories
• medical and research laboratories
• renewable energy organisations
• chemical processing plants
• educational institutions
• government organisations
• not-for-profit organisations
• environmental consultancies.

Graduates are successful nationally and overseas. Many hold key positions in public and private industry, research organisations and government departments.

The management degree allows you to move into fields like research management, technical services management, or science business development. The diversity of successful graduates reflects the breadth of the course.
