Overview

The Bachelor of Science is designed for maximum flexibility and subject choice. Students can undertake either a broad education in science or a professionally recognised education in one particular discipline. The Bachelor of Commerce allows students to pursue a broad range of business and commerce specialisations.

More information regarding double degree course requirements can be found in UOW's Policy Guidelines. Students must seek advice and approval from both Faculties before enrolment.

Entry Requirements

Academic requirements and English requirements are available from the Course Finder.

Course Learning Outcomes

A number of the course learning outcomes in each of these degrees complement and consolidate outcomes in the partner degree. Applied across two discipline areas, the outcomes are achieved at a broader and more comprehensive level.

The outcomes which are common and consolidated in this joint degree ensure that on successful completion of the course students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate knowledge of discipline information
  2. Critically analyse and explain information 
  3. Apply critical thinking and judgement in making decisions and solving problems
  4. Apply knowledge and skills to an authentic context
  5. Effectively communicate knowledge and ideas to others

Please refer to the Undergraduate Course Handbook page of each individual degree for a comprehensive list of degree course learning outcomes.
