Summary
The Bachelor of Science is for those excited by discovery and who question the norm. You'll learn from world-renowned researchers who are addressing the big issues facing our global society, such as the changing environment, future materials and fuels, and biotechnology. You'll be able to study complementary disciplines or non-science units that feed your curiosity. And you'll be part of a community that has led many significant initiatives in recent years, including early climate change research, photonics, evolutionary biology and groundbreaking research in earth's crustal systems. The broad and flexible Bachelor of Biodiversity and Conservation - which uniquely combines studies in plant and animal sciences, ecology and new remote sensing with environmental and conservation management - will equip you with such specialist skills.
