Overview
- The Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies at the University of Sydney is designed for students who want to go beyond the standard science undergraduate degree and engage in advanced coursework, major research or industry projects.
- The degree allows choice among multiple streams (for example, Health, Medical Science, Animal & Veterinary Bioscience, Taronga Wildlife Conservation) and offers flexibility in majors and programs.
- In the fourth year, students complete either advanced units of study or a substantial research/industry/community project (or preparation for honours), which enhances their capability for postgraduate work or higher-level scientific roles.
- The programme emphasises project-based learning and exposure to emerging scientific fields and interdisciplinary study, making it suitable for those aiming for high-level scientific careers or research pathways.
- Additionally, students may benefit from global mobility opportunities and undertake electives in the Open Learning Environment (such as entrepreneurship or communication skills), broadening their horizons beyond pure science.
