DegreesChoosing your degree
The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees offer the greatest flexibility when choosing your program of study. Generally, a student majoring in biological sciences would enrol in a B Science. If you are planning on combining your biology studies with a variety of non-science subjects, a B Arts might be more appropriate. These degrees can be combined with other qualifications such as the Diploma of Education and the Bachelor of Laws. These degrees can also be studied by distance education.
The Bachelor of Science in Advanced Biology is especially designed for those students who have a particular interest in biology and who are interested in attending regular discussion groups on biological issues. Students also have the opportunity to gain practical experience working in research laboratories within the university during their degree.
The Bachelor of Science in Biodiversity and Conservation allows students to pursue a specialised subject, dealing with conservation and biodiversity issues, while retaining the flexibility to pursue other science and non-science interests.
The Bachelor of Medical Sciences is designed to provide for those with interests in medical, biomedical and allied health sciences.
The Bachelor of Marine Science allows you specialise in marine biology from your first year of enrolment.
Our department also contributes to the teaching of several specialised, interdisciplinary degrees: Bachelor of Biotechnology; Bachelor of Environmental Management; Bachelor of Environmental Science; and the Bachelor of Science with Bachelor of Arts in Natural & Cultural Heritage and Museums.
