Program Overview

Combining science and innovation in a double degree has a great potential to lead to exciting and diverse career opportunities. Many of the world's most pressing issues – such as climate change, healthcare, food security and sustainable energy – require multidisciplinary solutions achieved by combining technical knowhow with an innovation mindset.

During your studies you'll gain the skills to identify novel opportunities, develop disruptive technologies, and create new products or services that transform businesses and societies. You might start your own ventures based on scientific discoveries or bring fresh perspectives to existing industries through innovative approaches.

In Science, you’ll develop core expertise in your major and choose a specialisation that either deepens your knowledge in one subject or broadens your expertise across a range of subjects – such as climate change, mining, environmental management, food science, forensic studies and industrial optimisation.

In Innovation, you’ll study business management and innovation fundamentals. You'll then complete a set of transformational experiences – including development of a sustainable business innovation project, an interactive study tour or an international experience – where you can apply your knowledge and demonstrate your skills as a future-focused problem solver.
