The University of Notre Dame Australia
Bachelor of Science (Biology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationEmployers want the skills you will develop in the Bachelor of Science. A strong emphasis on research in both the laboratory and the field ensures you will acquire the fundamental skills of scientific investigation, such as data collection and analysis, critical thinking, problem-solving and effective communication. These skills are needed in the flexible workplace of the 21st century.
Biology spans the breadth of knowledge and understanding that relates to all life and is at the core of many significant scientific developments. For example, the burden of an expanding global population is driving advances in biotechnology to increase food production.
By completing a Major in Biology, you will be able to play a vital role in filling the gaps in society’s knowledge about species, ecosystems and environmental threats and contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources in Australia and elsewhere. Our Major in Biology is usually taken over three years of full-time study, with eight of the 24 courses devoted to Biology. Courses include Aquatic Science, Pollution and Ecotoxicology, Animal Diversity and Microbiology.
