Overview
Science holds the key to many of the challenges – pandemics, climate change, antibiotic resistance – that threaten the world today. With the UTS Bachelor of Science, students can take their place at the forefront of a profession with the power to build resilience in both humanity and the planet.
This flagship degree has been designed with flexibility in mind: with eight majors to choose from and extensive elective blocks on offer, students can build a degree that’s uniquely theirs. In their first year, they gain access to the ‘scientist’s toolkit’, a series of core subjects designed to help them critically analyse the ways in which science can help solve global problems.
From there, they can dive into specialist science subjects in their chosen major, working in world-class facilities and on industry-standard equipment. Our practice-based learning approach means students learn by doing, translating scientific theory into real-world practice. But they don’t just do it in the classroom: extensive professional experiences, from internships and field trips to global exchange placements, help bring their learning to life.
Science is about more than just what happens in the lab. UTS science students pair the study of hard science with the development of crucial professional skills – inquiry, reflection, innovation and communication – that prepare them for a diverse and thriving career.

Course duration and attendance
Students can complete the course in three years of full-time or six years of part-time study. Part-time students are required to attend some classes in daytime hours. Students who choose the Medical Science major have the option to complete the course in an accelerated mode over two years.
Course structure
Students must complete a total of 144 credit points to graduate. Subjects offered by the University have been classified as introductory (normally taken in stages 1 and 2), intermediate (stages 3 and 4) and advanced (stages 5 and 6 or later). In the Bachelor of Science, students are required to complete one introductory foundation stream and then chosen major that specifies a series of intermediate and advanced subjects that, if taken, result in award of a Bachelor of Science in that major.
Alternatively, students may choose not to take a specific major but a flexible mix of subjects of interest and graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree without a specified major. If so, they must complete 36 credit points of intermediate and 36 credit points of advanced science subjects. In doing so, students must ensure that they have completed the required prerequisite subjects at each stage. It cannot be guaranteed that all subjects that students in a flexible program wish to take together can be timetabled without clashes and so students need to check timetable constraints before final subject choice each session.
The Bachelor of Science also contains up to 24 credit points of free elective subjects that enable students to increase their expertise in other areas of science or other disciplines in the University. This can be in the form of a specialised 24-credit-point sub-major or by a varied selection of subjects.
