Overview

The Bachelor of Science (Extended) is a degree for talented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians who may not meet the regular Bachelor of Science entry requirements.

This four-year course is your first step towards a dream career in science or technology.

Look at the world around you. Do you see something that could be better? Maybe it’s the glass on your phone, or an incurable disease, a lack of renewable energy options, ecosystems in trouble, or the missing ‘theory of everything’.

It’s only when you understand something that you can hope to improve it, and science gives you the tools to do just that.

In the next decade, an estimated 75 per cent of jobs in the fastest-growing industries will need skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.

Bring your passion, get ready to learn from our internationally renowned lecturers, and join us to tackle the world’s greatest challenges.

You’ll have access to the full range of subject choices and opportunities within the Bachelor of Science, plus built-in support and academic skills development to ensure your success.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who receive an ATAR score of more than 50 are encouraged to apply.

Tailor your degree

In your degree, you’ll have the choice of more than 40 majors, covering all fields of science.
