About this program

Griffith University's Bachelor of Science gives students the chance to explore several scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and more. Over three years, students choose from a range of majors, tailoring studies to suit particular interests or career aspirations. The course is structured around semesters, with units of study carrying specified credit points that count towards degree completion. As students advance, they take more specialised units, and in the final year they may complete a capstone project or research-focused subject, applying what they've learned to real scientific questions or industry problems.

Many units emphasise practical skills through laboratory sessions, fieldwork, and opportunities for research. Depending on the major, students can participate in work-integrated learning experiences, where they might collaborate with industry partners or research organisations in the Brisbane region. This practical exposure helps build confidence and offers insights into how science operates in Australian workplaces.

The Bachelor of Science at Griffith is suitable for those curious about the natural world, problem-solving, and keen to take up scientific or analytical roles after graduation. Students develop scientific reasoning, quantitative data analysis, communication skills, and confidence in presenting scientific findings. The degree is recognised across Australia, helping graduates qualify for various science-related positions or postgraduate study. Griffith's Brisbane campuses connect students to industry links and research opportunities typical of a public Australian university setting.

International students should check the official Griffith University page for entry requirements, including acceptable English proficiency test scores. In line with Australian student visa rules, eligible students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods, and may have options for post-study work through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
