In a rapidly changing world, there has never been a better time to expand your understanding of science and technology. This course is designed to give you a broad scientific background if you did not study science in high school. You can design your own program of study, in consultation with academic staff, to suit your background knowledge and specific areas of interest. The program is highly flexible, allowing you to gain underpinning theoretical knowledge as well as practical laboratory experience in a range of discipline areas.
The course encourages you to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as skills in communication and lifelong learning, that you can apply to your specific field of interest.
You will graduate with a broad scientific background that will assist with future employment or provide a grounding to pursue further study. After successfully completing your first year of study, you have the option to transition to one of UNE’s specialised science-based degrees with advanced standing for units already completed.
