The Bachelor of Science is a flexible three-year undergraduate degree from ANU where you can customize your studies across 20+ science majors including computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Perfect for students passionate about science who want hands-on laboratory experience, research opportunities, and the flexibility to explore diverse scientific disciplines.
Minimum ATAR of 80 or International Baccalaureate score of 30 is required for admission. While there are no formal program prerequisites, some majors have specific subject recommendations: chemistry is recommended for biology majors, and mathematics prerequisites vary by level (Mathematical Methods major/minor or equivalent for MATH1003/1005, Specialist Mathematics for MATH1013, and Specialist Mathematics double major for MATH1115). Physics preparation is recommended but not formally required. A bridging course in chemistry is available in February for students needing additional preparation.
The Bachelor of Science offers comprehensive coverage across natural and physical sciences. Core subject areas include: Astronomy & Astrophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Marine Sciences, Environmental Science, Health and Medicine, Mathematics, Medical Science, Neuroscience, Physics, Psychology, and Science Communication. Students must complete a minimum 48-unit major from options including Agricultural Innovation, Biochemistry, Biodiversity Conservation, Biological Anthropology, Cell & Molecular Biology, Climate Science, Computer Science, Earth Science, Evolution and Ecology, Human Biology, Mathematical Finance, Mathematical Modelling, Physics, Statistics, and others. Additional minors and specializations provide structured breadth or depth, including options in Applied Statistics, Cognitive Neuropsychology, Advanced Chemistry, Advanced Physics, Biomedical Science, Genetics, Marine Science, Microbiology and Immunology, and Neuroscience and Physiology.
ANU ranks among the world's finest universities with nearly 100,000 alumni in leadership positions globally. The Bachelor of Science program offers state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, mentorship from leading scientists, and exceptional flexibility to customize your degree. ANU provides unique opportunities including fieldtrips, international study exchanges, internships, and the innovative Vertical Double Degree pathway to combine undergraduate and postgraduate studies in just 4 years. The program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in a data-driven, technology-focused global economy.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Science pursue diverse careers in high-demand fields. Potential career paths include neurologist, marine biologist, conservation biologist, teacher, science journalist, nuclear physicist, astronomer, meteorologist, policy advisor, researcher, and emerging roles in technology and innovation. Many graduates continue to Honours, Masters, or Doctoral studies for specialized research careers. With strong scientific training and flexible major selection, graduates are well-positioned for roles in research institutions, government agencies, environmental organizations, healthcare, education, technology companies, and emerging scientific fields.
