Overview

Bachelor of Advanced Science

Suppose you enjoy being constantly challenged and extended by your studies and are thinking about a career involving Science research. 

In that case, the Bachelor of Advanced Science degree at Western Sydney University allows exposure to research in an undergraduate degree.

Inquiry-based research is introduced for all science students in the first year. 

However, in the second year, Advanced Science students interact with world-renowned researchers to provide extensive individual training to develop leadership and/or research skills. 

This involves completing advanced science subjects only available to Advanced Science students, which focus on research methodology and developing skills pertinent to future works in science project management.

On completing a science major, the degree also allows for completing an additional minor or 4 free electives so that students can design their learning journey.

Students must complete eight major subjects from one of the following primary Science majors after their study commences:

Agrifood, Animal Science, Applied Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Zoology, Forensic Science, Environmental Health, Innovative Foods, Sustainable Environmental Features
