Murdoch University

Perth , Western Australia ,Australia

Bachelor of Science Honours

Focus on a field of science which interests you – from Games Technology to Biomedical Science, Marine Biology, Forensic Biology & Toxicology, Animal Health, Conservation & Wildlife Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Nanotechnology, Genetics & Molecular Biology, Sport & Health Science and more.

You can take your learning outside the classroom with opportunities to travel overseas or complete internships or get involved in industry or community projects as part of your studies. For example, if you study Marine Biology, you’ll take part in field camps, field trips and projects along our iconic Western Australian coastline.

You’ll get valuable experience through professional placements, working on science-related projects for real organisations. For example, if you study Games Technology, you’ll learn to apply scientific thinking to develop games, apps and artificial intelligence. Expand your career prospects even further with a double major in a complementary scientific area or a double degree in another discipline, such as law, business, management or communications.
