Overview

Science and humanities subjects are studied in depth combining the practical, numeracy and computer skills of the Science graduate with the communication skills of the Arts graduate. Consider Science and Technology Studies for a critical understanding of the role of scientists in modern society; or perhaps combine Science with another language for an international edge.

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 & Credit Arrangements

Information on academic and English language requirements, as well as eligibility for credit for prior learning, is available from the Course Finder.
