COURSE DESCRIPTION
All students of the Bachelor of Science study a set of core interdisciplinary Science courses including experimental design, maths, biology, chemistry and ecology. These courses provide the basis for strong skills in scientific investigation, including data collection and analysis, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and effective communication and also ensure versatile graduates. These skills are highly sort after by employers and applicable to many workplaces both within and outside of the field of Science.
Building on these core Science courses, you will deepen your study of Science by selecting a Science Stream that matches your interests: Biology & Environment, Environment & Heritage, Human & Medical Science, or Multidisciplinary Science. Each Stream ensures in-depth knowledge and skill development through practical hands-on experience in the classroom, the laboratory, and in the field.

Environment & Heritage stream
Understanding and preserving our natural environment and cultural heritage are essential to maintaining quality of life for current and future generations. Key skills and knowledge to succeed in these fields are developed in this Stream.
You will be equipped to work with the complexity of environmental systems through the study of ecology, biodiversity, physical geography, natural resource management, environmental impact assessment, and the application of spatial analysis.
Cultural heritage is introduced via courses in archaeology, including field experiences to hone skills in material collection and analysis. With a strong focus on the history and archaeology of Western Australia, you will study specialist areas such as maritime archaeology and the archaeology of Indigenous Australia.
The flexibility in the Bachelor of Science degree allows you to explore your interests and pursue many career possibilities:
You can combine this Stream with study in specialist courses in plant and animal biology and coastal processes to enhance your environmental science expertise and prepare for careers aligned with natural landscapes.
You can diversify your career opportunities by combining this Stream with more courses in either Archaeology, Environmental Management or Biology to complete a full eight-course Major.
Or you can combine this Stream with courses in complementary disciplines such as Behavioural Science, Journalism, Business Studies, Politics and International Relations or Social Justice to form a six-course Minor.
