Bachelor of Science

Townsville, Cairns

Following a restructure of the Bachelor of Science, the following majors are now available:

Only the core subjects for each major are listed below. For additional information about each major and the recommended electives to be studied as part of the degree, please consult the Faculty’s Subject Information Booklet which is provided to all students at the time of enrolment or re-enrolment. Copies may also be obtained from the Faculty of Science and Engineering office.

Note: Substitution of subjects for core subjects to allow students to graduate with an approved major will be considered by the Executive Dean on a case by case basis.

Students may still choose to compile their own general Bachelor of Science degree by following the Bachelor of Science degree requirements on page 209 but should be aware that there may be timetable problems.
