4748.1 Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of BusinessThe Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Business double degree program allows graduates to span both the commercial and scientific worlds in a way that single degree graduates cannot.

This double degree permits students to undertake multi-skilling, and offers diverse career paths providing high marketability in multiple areas of expertise.

Graduates will have a solid grounding in a core science discipline from a range of majors including Animal Science, Applied Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Health, Forensic Science, Nutrition and Food Science, Sustainable Environmental Futures, and Zoology.

This qualification in Science is combined with one of the following majors from the Bachelor of Business:

Applied Finance, Economics, Hospitality Management, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management, Marketing, and Sport Management.

Graduates will be equipped to work as scientists with a good understanding of business principles and practices.

Alternatively, as Business graduates, they will be well-prepared to work in science-based industries and institutions.

Recommended Sequence

Use the links to each Bachelor of Business (BBus) Major to see the Core, Professional and Major units required. Students should follow the recommended sequence below and not the recommended sequence listed under each Bachelor of Business Major.

This progression pattern is highly recommended. Students’ progress through both degrees at the same pace, completing two units in each degree in each semester. Graduation after three years with either degree will be possible only if a student makes this decision at or before the end of Year 2 and amends their progression pattern as prescribed by an Academic Course Advisor.

To complete some of the components within this course, students may be required to travel between Western Sydney University campuses in order to complete their units.
