Program Overview

RMIT's Bachelor of Science offers you the flexibility and choice to complete a degree tailored to your interests.

With major and minor options that span the breadth of physical and natural sciences and allied disciplines, this science degree is embedded with Industry Partnered Learning and focuses on skills development to support your future science career.

Your science degree begins with a suite of introductory subjects in which you will learn and explore core science concepts across physical, life, data and mathematical science disciplines and develop and strengthen key scientific and transferable skills, providing a transformative learning experience that will underpin your future studies and careers.

You can then choose your areas in which to specialise from a suite of complementary majors and minors across the breadth of sciences, including:

• Biological Sciences
• Biotechnology
• Chemistry
• Food Science and Technology
• Mathematics
• Nutrition Science
• Physics
• Statistics.

These majors can be complemented by an extensive choice of generalist minors within these and additional areas, offering further flexibility or the opportunity for further specialisation.

This degree will stimulate your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help you to be competitive across all science-led disciplines.

Major: Physics
When you choose a Physics major in RMIT’s Bachelor of Science you will enjoy flexibility with a degree that allows you to pursue a specialisation in physics while gaining practical real-world experience.

RMIT’s Bachelor of Science allows you to major in Physics with a minor in Mathematics and then extend your studies by completing a second minor. Alternatively, you can undertake a double major in physics and mathematics.

Your degree commences with an integrated suite of four core subjects, introducing you to key concepts and skills from across the physical sciences (physics, chemistry and geospatial), life sciences (biological, environmental and food), data science and mathematics.
