Bachelor
Our Bachelor of Science (Extended) is a four-year degree for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students to undertake studies in an academically and culturally supported environment.
It provides students with an opportunity to make connections between in-depth study of a discipline area in the sciences, and knowledge of culture and practice.
Offering a broad choice across more than 40 subject areas in the sciences and access to a full range subjects from across the University, this degree is your first step towards a science career, or as stepping stone to other specialised degrees at the University.
The degree equips students with excellent communication, critical and analytical skills, with built-in support and academic skills development to ensure your success.
You will begin study with a cohort of students engaged in culturally relevant literacy and mathematics studies and other available units.
In second year, students can choose a major and a minor from our broad choice across the Faculty of Science, or from the University's shared pool of subjects.
As part of this program, you will have access to tailored academic support and tutors, mentors through our Mentoring our Brothers and Sisters (MOBS) program, with a wide-range of course and residential scholarships available.
