Bachelor of Science - Change in Course Structure

Commencing in 2027, new structural requirements will be implemented for the Bachelor of Science, placing a greater emphasis on the depth of disciplinary knowledge, while making course requirements clearer and easier to navigate.  Students will continue to have the flexibility to explore their interests and tailor their degree.

The key structural change is the move from a single-major course structure to one that requires students to complete either a major and minor, two majors, or an extended major. 

Students can look at this useful PDF to gain a better idea of the new structure - BSc Course Changes 2027.
