CU18 - Bachelor of Science

Overview

Compulsory Residential School

Some units in this course require you to attend a compulsory Residential School or Work Integrated Learning. Please see Course Features in the Getting Started tab for further information.

Course Overview

The degree program aims to produce high quality graduates with the advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for further research or employment in the field of specialisation.  In the first year of the program, students develop a broad foundation in biology, chemistry and environmental science and the opportunity to develop practical skills in scientific investigation.  Students then build on this foundation with advanced courses in their area of specialisation which enables them to pursue a wide range of career options.

  

Ecology and Conservation Biology Major

This specialisation includes advanced courses in invertebrate and vertebrate biology, ecology, microbiology and management of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems which enables students to pursue a wide range of career options in the fields of fields of ecosystem management and rehabilitation, environmental monitoring and conservation of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

 

Analytical and Molecular Science Major

This specialisation includes advanced courses in forensic science, environmental chemistry, molecular biology and genetics which enables students to pursue a wide range of career options in the fields of analytical science including, biotechnology, forensic science, food safety and food technology.  

 

Agricultural and Food Science Major

This specialisation includes advanced courses in plant science, pest management, microbiology and agricultural industry management which enable students to pursue a wide range of career options in the field of food production.

Career Information

Knowledge and skills in science are the prerequisite for entry into many professional careers and Bachelor of Science Graduates find employment in areas as diverse as chemical and material production, medicine, mining and metals, power industry, environmental science and ecology, food technology and forensic analysis, as well as careers in research and development in the private and public sector. The two specialisations in the Bachelor of Science course are designed to deliver not only a solid foundation in scientific skills and knowledge but also the flexibility to focus on specific areas of study that are relevant to the career and employment options chosen by each student.

COVID-19 Vaccination Advice

Effective 25 September 2023, updates have been made to the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for Queensland Health sites and the Queensland Ambulance Service. While Queensland Health does not currently mandate evidence of COVID-19 vaccination, it's essential to recognise that other organisations may enforce their own vaccination specific criteria. This situation is similar across other states and territories, with the exception of Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, where COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all healthcare students.
