Bachelor of Advanced Science (Hons)/Bachelor of Social Sciences
University of New South Wales - Sydney - Kensington
Overview
Combine your interests for a unique career that is connected to your talents and passions. In a double degree you focus on two areas of expertise to graduate with more knowledge, skills, and career options.
The Advanced Science degree differs from the Bachelor of Science with the inclusion of advanced-level courses, an honours year and options tailored to your aptitude and interests. In addition to foundation subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics and maths, you have access to more than 26 advanced fields of science, including advanced physical oceanography, immunology, climate dynamics and marine and coastal science. During your studies, you will develop the critical and analytical thinking needed for the successful completion of the research-based honours year.
The UNSW Bachelor of Social Sciences will prepare you for a career with real impact. Not only will you develop the social research skills and knowledge to understand and analyse a range of political, social, environmental and economic challenges – you’ll learn how to influence policy and bring about positive change, too.
