Bachelor of Science
Why study the Bachelor of Science at UNE?
Science aims to understand the world around us and to use that knowledge to improve our quality of life. It is the basis of all technology and provides the information and techniques which we can use to solve problems associated with pollution, health and the environment. It is not necessary on entering University to have firm ideas about an area of specialisation since this will become clear during the course of study. Students who study science at UNE can take advantage of excellent facilities and opportunities for field work.
Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc(Hons))
A fourth Honours year is available to students with an above average academic record. Study would be undertaken in one of the disciplines chosen for specialisation leading to the award of Bachelor of Science with Honours.
Combining the Bachelor of Science and a Graduate Diploma
Graduate Diplomas which can be completed in this way are in Computer Science, Information Technology, Natural Resources, Science and Rural Science. These programs are taken over four years of full-time study and entry into the Diploma component of the course is after completion of the first two years of the BSc.
