Overview
The Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Business is designed to produce graduates who are prepared for scientific practice or business and management in technical, financial, regulatory, environmental, health or biomedical oriented businesses, industries or government departments. Students choose one of 10 specialised science majors according to their preference. Students also have a choice of major study in the business stream.
Demand is growing for graduates able to cross the divide between science and business. Students develop a combination of scientific and professional business skills, and also the transferable skills that are highly sought-after by employers.
Depending on the science and business disciplines chosen, graduates could find themselves working in a wide range of areas: commodity, resource trading, pharmaceutical industries, leading consumer goods companies, hospitals, medical research, industry, environmental protection agencies and government.
Career options
Careers are influenced by the major chosen and are described in detail in the individual course and major entries: see Bachelor of Science (C10242) and the Bachelor of Business (C10026). Careers options include policy analyst, science consultant, banking and finance, communicator, statistician business analyst, science communication and scientific publishing, product development, manufacture, marketing, in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical or high technology industries, curator of museums, parks, zoos, aquariums, environmental management.
Admission requirements
Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 176-184.
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Assumed knowledge
Mathematics; English; and at least one science subject.
Course duration and attendance
Students can complete the course over four years full time. Full-time attendance involves approximately 16 hours each week on campus. Students may also be able to complete the course part time, usually at the rate of two subjects a session (a 50 per cent load), taking eight years to complete. Part-time students may need to attend science classes for at least one half-day a week, in addition to evening classes.
Course structure
Students are required to complete a total of 192 credit points, comprising 96 credit points of science subjects and 96 credit points of business subjects.
In the science component, students choose one of 10 possible majors representing the major science disciplines. Refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Business (C10026) for the possible majors available in the business component.
Graduation from the science component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree. Students wishing to graduate with a Bachelor of Science prior to completion of the business component of the combined degree must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Science (C10242) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.
Similarly, if a student wishes to graduate from the business component of the combined degree prior to completion of the science component they must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Business (C10026) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.

Honours
An honours program in each science discipline is available to eligible students.
Transfer between UTS courses
There is provision for students already enrolled in a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Business degree to transfer to this combined degree program, provided they meet the entry requirement for the combined degree.
Students wishing to transfer from the combined degree program to the Bachelor of Business (C10026) single degree program, and whose ATAR is less than the current entry rank for the Bachelor of Business, are required to apply for admission through the Universities Admissions Centre in the non-current school leaver category.
Professional recognition
Depending on disciplines chosen, students may be eligible for entry to the relevant professional associations.
