The Bachelor of Science at the University of New England provides you with your choice of 20 majors, with the opportunity to complete a second major or a complementary minor in communications, business or statistics. 

students come from academically diverse backgrounds and go on to become active contributors in industry, education, government and research.

encourage and nurture creativity in a supportive, inquiry-rich learning environment, allowing you to build confidence, and a hands-on approach to knowledge and skills through active engagement with your peers and academic staff. 

approach to science education is research-informed. 

integrate up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge, developing your understanding of foundational science concepts, experimental tools, data analysis and critical thinking. 

UNE’s Bachelor of Science gives you opportunities to:

• Balance study with your existing commitments. the course is highly flexible, with full-time or part-time options to study online or on campus. utilise the most modern technology for purpose-recorded online lectures, ensuring your experience is optimised. However, you choose to study. As Australia’s longest continuous provider of distance (now online) education, are experts in online learning delivery.
• Equip yourself with complementary skills that are in demand in the workplace. minors have been developed in response to feedback from the industry and ensure that you have practical knowledge that goes beyond your science specialty. Be start-up ready with a minor in business, translate your results effectively with a communications minor, or add value to almost all scientific disciplines with a statistics minor.
• Convert your theoretical knowledge into real-world practice with a personalised approach from academic staff. On-campus laboratory classes (with mandatory intensive schools for some online units) and a dynamic learning environment that allows you to learn actively with your peers and teachers all contribute to developing your applied skillset.
• Access world-class facilities. As a student, you will have opportunities to learn from hands-on experience and access state-of-the-art equipment and facilities which are utilised in multidisciplinary research and teaching.
• Study overseas for a trimester with one of the international partner universities and get credit towards your degree while you broaden your scope with a global perspective. also, offer opportunities for short-term study and work-based learning.
