Bachelor of Science
Your skills in effective communication will give you an advantage within your chosen science career. Due to the growing demand for science communicators, you may expect a range of employment opportunities within the public and private sectors. Science requires writers who can frame scientific knowledge and debates for broad public consumption. Be at the cutting edge of international science education with access to our multimillion-dollar research and teaching facilities, including our Science and Engineering Precinct. Major in biological sciences, chemistry, climate science, earth science, environmental science or physics with your Bachelor of Science, and get real-world experience through our Vacation Research program. Study opportunities include student-led projects, international study tours, and access to experienced lecturers and industry representatives. Digital communication platforms, streaming media, and online content consumption are reconfiguring how we communicate and access information. Governments, corporations, and entertainment industries, like TV, games, and social media, must fundamentally rethink how to capture attention in an increasingly fragmented landscape. This major prepares you to lead industries, organisations, and teams through the complexities of digital disruption and social change. You will learn how to navigate the economic, cultural, technological, and regulatory aspects of digital media, develop specialised skills in social media management and data analytics, and master new strategies for audience engagement.
