About this program

The Bachelor of Science at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) provides a flexible and comprehensive science education tailored to diverse interests within physical, environmental, biomedical, and mathematical sciences. Students are able to choose from a range of specialised majors, allowing them to focus on areas such as environmental science, biotechnology, chemistry, and mathematics. The course develops both broad scientific literacy and deep advanced knowledge within the selected discipline.

This degree is delivered over three years full-time and is structured around semesters, typically including foundational core units, specified major units, and a selection of electives. Students earn credit points by completing these units, with each unit contributing to the overall degree requirements. The course may include opportunities for capstone projects, hands-on laboratory work, and fieldwork, ensuring strong practical and analytical skills. Work-integrated learning is often available through internships and research placements, connecting students with industry and giving them invaluable workplace experience relevant to the Australian science sector.

Graduates emerge with a robust set of scientific, critical thinking, and technical skills, including experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication. The programme suits those with an inquiring mind and a passion for understanding the world, whether preparing for a science-focused career or for further study at honours or postgraduate levels. International applicants must meet English proficiency requirements—commonly an IELTS Academic score of 6.0–6.5 or an accepted equivalent.

The Bachelor of Science is listed on the CRICOS register (course code: 116838A). International students should consult the official UTS page for details on credit point requirements, major options, industry connections, and professional placements. During study, international students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
