 Science: Turn your Passion into a Rewarding Career

Federation's science degrees give you the chance to explore your interests, gain hands-on experience, and prepare for exciting opportunities in industry, research, and beyond.

Love nature and want to protect our planet?  The Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science) focuses on Australia’s unique ecosystems. Students study ecology, wildlife, climate, and sustainability while gaining real-world skills through fieldwork in forests, coastal regions, and arid landscapes.  This includes field trips to Nanya Station, our 40,000 hectare research property in western NSW.

The Bachelor of Science is perfect for students who are curious about the world and want the freedom to choose their direction.  Students start broad in their first year, then dive deeper into areas like cell biology, microbiology, laboratory bioscience and more, to create a degree that matches their goals.

Students who have a passion for animals, will find the Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience) takes them inside the fascinating world of animal health and behaviour.  Students learn about anatomy, physiology, and diseases while building the foundations for careers in veterinary science, animal production and nutrition, or research.
