The Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Business is designed to produce graduates who are prepared for scientific practice or business and management in technical, financial, regulatory, environmental, health or biomedical oriented businesses, industries or government departments.
Students choose one of nine specialised science majors according to their preference.
Students also have a choice of major study in the business stream.Students choose from a choice of majors from both their science and business degrees.
Depending on the science and business disciplines chosen, graduates could work in a wide range of areas such as commodities, resource trading, pharmaceutical industries, leading consumer goods companies, hospitals, medical research, industry, environmental protection agencies and government.Demand is growing for graduates able to cross the divide between science and business.
Students develop a combination of scientific and professional business skills, and transferable skills that are highly sought-after by employers.
Students are required to complete a total of 192 credit points, comprising 96 credit points of science subjects and 96 credit points of business subjects.
In the science component, students choose one of nine possible majors representing the major science disciplines. Refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Business (C10026) for the possible majors available in the business component.
Graduation from the science component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree. Students wishing to graduate with a Bachelor of Science prior to completion of the business component of the combined degree must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Science (C10242) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.
Similarly, if a student wishes to graduate from the business component of the combined degree prior to completion of the science component they must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Business (C10026) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.
