The Bachelor of Science is a relatively new degree that was introduced to

provide students with a broad overview of the sciences but also the flexibility

to tailor the degree to meet their individual interests. So the first year

is an overview of science and as students develop a better awareness of

their area of interest, the degree can be tailored to meet their individual

career goals. The Bachelor of Science can often be a great start for students not

quite decided on their future direction. It is possible to use the Bachelor of

Science as an introduction to university study and the science discipline before

choosing a specialist area. If you are interested in environmental science

there are majors in biology and environmental chemistry. These majors

suit students who want a degree more specialised than an environmental

science degree and are targeting a career in a field such as mine

remediation or laboratory analysis for environmental quality audits. If you are

interested in engineering, but not a full engineering degree, there is a major in

engineering that teaches engineering principles but within the physical and

biological aspects of science.
