In many areas of scientific endeavour, knowledge across multiple disciplines has provided innovative solutions to important problems. A bachelor's degree in multidisciplinary science provides well-rounded and diverse capabilities across traditional science boundaries, and you will be ideally placed to develop a career that can span science, technology and mathematics. Multidisciplinary science is a flexible course that allows you to design a major that suits your background and particular career goals. You have the freedom to personalise your study plan in consultation with faculty members in the relevant disciplines, while meeting the requirements for a degree in science. This course can be used as an alternative pathway into other science, engineering and health science courses. You can undertake mathematics and science foundation units in order to meet the prerequisites of your desired course. You can choose to study a primary discipline from areas such as: Biology Chemistry Computing Geology Mathematics Physics. You can combine with a secondary Science discipline above, or go outside the physical sciences to areas such as: Molecular or Human Biology (Genetics, Bioinformatics) Social Sciences (Media, Education) Spatial Sciences (Geographic Information) Why study Multidisciplinary Science Major (BSc Science) The multidisciplinary science major allows for the greatest flexibility in course design, combining an individualised combination of units which may not be possible through any other route. This course allows for a primary Science discipline supported by a secondary or combination of Science disciplines. Final year students may conduct a significant research project in their chosen area of study, in conjunction with research groups involved in world-class research. Opportunities exist across the broad science spectrum, depending on the choice of subjects. For example, becoming a professional science writer by combining science units with journalism, or being able to model complex environmental systems by combining mathematics units with environmental biology. Graduates are also ideally placed to pursue a career in teaching, through developing a very broad science background from which to teach, and the flexibility to meet the requirements for Education Major and Minor Teaching Specialisations. This course can be used as an alternative pathway into other courses. You can undertake mathematics and science bridging units in order to meet the prerequisite requirements of your desired courses, including engineering and health sciences. Professional recognition Graduates of this course may be eligible for membership in the relevant society or institute of their chosen area of study. Career information Complementary skills allow you to compete effectively in industrial or government occupations, or develop a very broad science background that can enrich a teaching career. Opportunities exist across a wide spectrum, depending on your choice of units. For example, you could aim to become a professional science writer by combining science units with journalism. You could also be ideally placed to pursue a career in secondary science education, through the development of a very broad science or mathematics background and the flexibility to include an education minor for a teaching specialisation. You could also choose to undertake postgraduate study to further expand your career options.
