Overview

Interpret data and propose solutions as you build critical and creative thinking, effective communication and problem-solving skills when you study the humanities and science at UOW. You will join one of humanity’s greatest collective endeavours as you work with interdisciplinary teams to explore creative solutions for our world's biggest issues. You will learn about the science that underpins and advances societies globally, while you learn to develop arguments, communicate with audiences and influence decision making.

How can scientific and technological advances increase the quality of our lives and guide our care of Earth’s complex systems? What do we need to know to create a better future, and what are the best ways of finding out? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you enter an expansive and rewarding field. You will broaden your knowledge and skill base and improve your career options in competitive, interactive fields.

You'll benefit by learning from recognised and passionate leaders in these academically rigorous fields. You will learn the core fundamentals of science and arts across practical and theoretical subjects in the first year of your degree before deciding which major/minor disciplines to focus on from the second year. You will complete extensive hands-on experience throughout your double degree, which allows you to apply your skills in the lab. Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience and make meaningful professional connections across the broader arts and scientific community.
