Bachelor of Science

Maybe you’ve always known that you wanted to be a marine biologist. Or perhaps you’re still deciding whether you want to be an engineer or a geologist. A doctor or a vet? A data scientist or a physicist? A chemist or a psychologist?

The Bachelor of Science is a pathway to all these careers, and hundreds more. With more than 40 majors on offer, students can select from the full range of science, biomedicine, mathematics, engineering, and IT subjects. The Bachelor of Science is a 3-year degree, in which students complete 24 subjects. Of the 24 subjects, some will contribute to their major (chosen specialisation), some will be science electives (other science subjects), and some will be breadth (non-science) subjects. A very useful link to browse is Tips for Choosing a Science Major. From 2022, all Bachelor of Science students will complete the new discovery subject: Today's Science, Tomorrow's World in their first semester. Find out more by viewing this video.

Diploma in Languages

Learn a language by studying the Diploma in Languages alongside your undergraduate degree at Melbourne. You will demonstrate a master of both the oral/aural and written/reading skills to communicate effectively in another language and appreciate its cultural contexts.

The Diploma in Languages is offered as a concurrent diploma qualification taken at the same time as an undergraduate degree. It usually adds a year onto a student’s study, but fast track options are available with approval to complete both your degree and the diploma in three or three-and-a-half years of full time study.

Languages available include:

Ancient Greek
Arabic
Chinese
French
German
Hebrew
Indonesian
Italian
Japanese
Latin
Russian
Spanish
