Overview
Notes
You can enrich your degree to hone your academic and professional skills with a range of flagship rich educational experiences. These flagship rich educational experience units may be credited in place of your discipline specific electives (up to 6 credit points) if approved by the faculty, or alternatively utilising your free electives. There are both 6 and 12 credit point unit options available.

Structure
This is an advanced comprehensive course. It includes all the requirements of the Bachelor of Science, but with the requirement of two majors or an extended major and a minor from two different listed areas of study, and culminates with an honours research program in the fourth year.
The course is structured in four parts: science specified study, science listed majors, free elective study and a substantial honours research program.
Part A. Science specified study
This will expose you to several science disciplines contributing breadth to your understanding of science, giving you the opportunity to learn more about several disciplines before finalising your choice of majors. It will also provide you with the mathematical or statistical foundation for your study of science and introduce you to the key areas of scientific research methodology.
Part B. Science listed majors
This will provide you with practical and theoretical skills and knowledge of two science listed areas of study. You will learn to develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of the two disciplines.
Part C. Free elective study
This will enable you to further develop your knowledge of your chosen major, or science more broadly. Alternatively you can select units from across the University in which you are eligible to enrol.
Part D. Honours research program
This will extend your discipline knowledge and provide you with a higher level of expertise in critical writing, thinking and independent analysis and research.
