Data is used in all industries to drive innovation and growth. Data Scientists are able to harness the power of data to be central in these processes. A Bachelor of Science (Data Science) alongside a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Commerce is a powerful combination that will enable graduates to use data to solve problems through an in-depth understanding of appropriate analytics and the field in which the solutions will be applied. Through the BSc (Data Science) Double Degree Major, students will gain a high level of computer programming competency, the capacity to apply appropriate statistical procedures to large datasets from different sources, an understanding of contemporary digital media, and the ability to communicate data-driven solutions to a range of audiences. The field of data science is truly interdisciplinary and is therefore taught by experts from an array of discipline areas including Computing, Mathematics and Statistics, Humanities and Economics.

This double degree major allows students the opportunity to develop skills in a variety of creative writing forms and styles. A feature of this course is the Artist in Residence program, where professional artists contribute to the range of writing ideas and provide advice and support. Students also have the opportunity to give public readings of their works and to be published in a regularly produced magazine written and edited by students. The students of this course have been the recipients of many national and international awards.

This Double Degree Major provides students with the knowledge and practical skills to plan and manage human activities while conserving the coastal environment. The emphasis of the course material is on science and management techniques for the aquatic environment. Fields of study include biology, aquatic animal production and management, environmental impact and assessment, aquatic resource management, geology and the physical environment of the coastal zone. The curriculum focuses on the Australian coastal zone, however, international case studies are incorporated. This double major is an opportunity to meet the need for increased research into the coastal environment while managing the sustainability of the current and future anthropogenic activities within the coastal zone.

Completion of this Chinese double degree major will provide students with the ability to communicate in Mandarin Chinese. The major also provides an insight of Chinese culture. To successfully complete this major, students are required to complete two faculty core units, ten Chinese core units and two elective units. Students can commence with Beginning Chinese, or a more advanced unit depending on the student's communicative ability (after consultation with the Chinese teaching staff).

Chemical or Process engineering involves finding the best sequence of physical, chemical and biological processing steps, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher value products safely, economically and on a large scale. Gas processing, oil refining, minerals processing and metals production are among the most commonly recognised applications of chemical engineering, but the discipline encompasses a diversity of products that serve the needs of society. These include LNG, LPG, petrochemicals and polymers, fertilisers and agrichemicals, cement and lime, industrial and fine chemicals, paper and board, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, food and beverages, power and clean water. In this double degree major, students examine the development, design, assessment and management of processes for the production of a wide range of materials. It covers the theory and applications of thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction engineering. Building on this foundation, students go on to explore process control, synthesis and design, risk management and safety, and research studies for general chemical processes. Course Accreditation This course is accredited by Engineers Australia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). Professional Recognition Engineers Australia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) recognise the course as fulfilling the academic requirements for graduate membership. On obtaining the necessary experience graduates will be eligible for corporate membership of Engineers Australia and IChemE.

This Chemistry Double Degree major provides a body of knowledge in chemistry and a range of skills necessary for a career in a modern analytical or industrial laboratory. These skills are gained in Curtin's laboratories that are amongst the best equipped in Australia. Professional chemists are essential to the operations of most manufacturing, processing minerals, and other industries. Course Accreditation Graduates of this course may be eligible for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Incorporated (RACI). Professional Recognition Graduates of this course may be eligible for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Incorporated (RACI)

Civil Engineering involves the application of basic scientific and technological principles to the design and construction of facilities necessary for the welfare of the community. It is concerned with such projects as railways, harbours and docks, road systems, bridges, water supply and wastewater treatment, dams, tunnels and underground construction, power projects, offshore structures, and commercial and industrial buildings. The effective practice of civil engineering necessitates a strong background in the mathematical and physical sciences, an understanding of the properties of construction materials such as steel, concrete and natural aggregates and an ability to evaluate the performance of structures under variable forms of loading. Many engineering projects require a close working relationship with other groups - planners, architects, environmental scientists - and an appreciation of the impact of civil works on society in terms of both social obligations and finance. The civil engineer also needs training in the management of resources, equipment, materials and finance. Professional Recognition Graduates fulfil the stage one competencies stipulated by Engineers Australia (EAust) as the pathway to chartered engineer status (CPEng).

The Anthropology and Sociology double degree major introduces students to the complementary fields of anthropology and sociology. This major enables students to understand how contemporary local, regional and national cultures are affected by, and react to, processes of global change such as industrialisation, urbanisation, increasing inter-ethnic contacts, environmental transformation and new modes of communication.
