The Bachelor of Science/Behavioural Science double degree could be the perfect combination. You will study core interdisciplinary Science courses, including experimental design, mathematics, 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 sought after by employers and applicable to many workplaces within and outside 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 hands-on experience in the classroom, the laboratory, and the field.

The Bachelor of Behavioural Science is a unique program that combines elements of psychology, political science, cultural studies and sociology. Integrating specialised knowledge developed in these social science disciplines and with a strong focus on critical psychology, the program forges a connection between traditional psychology and social work. As a graduate, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to work with those who may be experiencing marginalisation or disadvantage.

As part of the Behavioural Science component of this degree, you will complete 12 Behavioural Science courses, including an internship which offers you the chance to apply your theoretical knowledge and to learn a whole lot more in a professional workplace.
