Overview

The Bachelor of Science is a three-year degree, in which you will complete 24 subjects, of which some will contribute to your major (your chosen specialisation).

Incredibly flexible, you can choose to begin your specialisation immediately, if you have decided on your major, or in second year after completing foundational subjects in first year. We can help you build the degree that’s right for you by providing career advice and guiding you through your study options to ensure you reach your career goals.

To support your learning, you will participate in practical classes in our new purpose-built Sciences Teaching Facility in the Science Precinct of the Wollongong campus. In addition, you will complete a research project tackling real problems, such as analysis of pollutants in water leachate and the chemical composition of vapes, all while developing and showcasing your employability skills.

See the course handbook for more information.

On completion, high-performing students considering further study or a career in research should consider the Bachelor of Science (Honours). This one-year degree offers students a pathway to expand their knowledge in chemistry and achieve their research aspirations.

You can specialise in a major by choosing from the following:
