Course information
Download course brochureConstant technological disruption and new discoveries in science influence every aspect of our lives, meaning that there has never been a better time than now to safeguard your future career with scientific knowledge and practical skills. With 17 majors to choose from, UNE’s Bachelor of Science is flexibly delivered by experts in research and teaching. Tailor your degree towards generalist or specialist science, while developing a broad scientific base and refining your abilities in critical analysis and complex problem solving. Our majors span the pure and applied sciences, with specialisation available in traditional disciplines and emerging fields.
Why study the Bachelor of Science with UNE?
At UNE, we have a long tradition of delivering innovative science education. Whether you want to position yourself at the forefront of innovation and discovery in science, or you are passionate about understanding how the world works, our Bachelor of Science provides you with your choice of 17 majors, with the opportunity to complete a second major or a complementary minor in communications, business or statistics. Our students come from academically diverse backgrounds, and go on to become active contributors in industry, education, government and research.
Whichever discipline you choose, you will be learning with industry leaders. UNE’s research in many areas of science has been rated above world average with agricultural and veterinary science, environmental, and mathematical science rated well above world standard, by the Australian’s Research Council’s most recent Excellence in Research Australia report. Our researchers are internationally renowned and our collaborations with industry and government produce research of national and international significance.
Our hands-on approach and small class sizes set us apart. We encourage and nurture creativity in a supportive, inquiry rich learning environment, allowing you to build confidence, knowledge and skills through active engagement with your peers and academic staff. UNE’s Bachelor of Science gives you the freedom to choose your direction and develop future fit skills in communication and complex problem solving.
At UNE, our collaborative learning environment allows you to interact directly with friendly academic staff and your peers, supporting your success. In fact, year after year, students award UNE 5-star ratings for Overall Experience and Student Support in The Good Universities Guide.
What makes our course different?
Our approach to science education is research informed. We integrate up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge, developing your understanding of foundational science concepts, experimental tools, data analysis and critical thinking. UNE’s Bachelor of Science gives you opportunities to:
- Equip yourself with complementary skills that are in demand in the workplace. Our minors have been developed in response to feedback from industry and ensure that you have practical knowledge that goes beyond your science specialty. Be start-up ready with a minor in business, translate your results effectively with a communications minor, or add value to almost all scientific disciplines with a statistics minor.
- Convert your theoretical knowledge into real-world practice, with a personalised approach from our academic staff. On-campus laboratory classes (with mandatory intensive schools for some online units) and a dynamic learning environment that allows you to learn actively with your peers and teachers all contribute to the development of your applied skillset.
- Access world class facilities. As a student you will have opportunities to learn from hands-on experience and access state-of-the-art equipment and facilities which are utilised in multidisciplinary research and teaching.
- Study overseas for a trimester with one of our international partner universities and get credit towards your degree while you broaden your scope with a global perspective. We also offer opportunities for short term study and work-based learning.
- Balance study with your existing commitments. With options to study online or on campus, full time or part time, our course is highly flexible. We utilise the most modern technology for our purpose-recorded online lectures, ensuring that your experience is optimised, however you choose to study. As Australia’s longest continuous provider of distance (now online) education, we are experts in the delivery of online learning.

Study online
Most of our students choose to study online across three study periods with 24/7 tutor support* and fit study around work and family commitments. Uniquely, our online students are mostly over 30 and bring valuable experience with them. They form a community of adults juggling the same challenges and priorities and who bring their life and work experience together at UNE in order to become future-fit and better respond to a rapidly changing world.
Study on campus
Many of our students choose to take advantage of the on-campus lifestyle in Armidale, in the beautiful New England region, with access to unparalleled support, accommodation and sporting facilities. These students are often starting their first degree and have left school recently. Through access to academic and career support they get a fantastic start to their careers.
* 24/7 tutor support includes: essay feedback (within 24 hours); live chat 24/7 for generic feedback on academic writing; and subject-specific help at a foundation or first-year level for subjects including mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, business, accounting, microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics. There are also a wide range of workshops, resources and courses available in academic skills support to assist you and help you to succeed.

Fees and scholarships
How much will it cost?
Estimated fees for your first year of study in this course are:
Fee type | Cost |
---|---|
International | $34,800* |
Commonwealth Supported Place | $8,273* |
Estimated amenities fee per year if studying full-time | $365 |
*Annual course fees only cover the cost of tuition. They do not include other expenses associated with university study such as text books, accommodation and living expenses. If you are successful in gaining admission to study at UNE, the Offer of Admission will list the exact tuition fees you need to pay for your course. Fees quoted cover full-time tuition for two full-time trimesters only. For more information, please see fees and costs.
What are the course fee payment options?
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a government subsidised place in a university course. The government pays part of your tuition fees, and you pay the remainder.
If you have a CSP in either an undergraduate or postgraduate (coursework) degree, you may be eligible for a HECS-HELP Loan, which allows you to defer payment of your fees until you are earning above the threshold.
UNE scholarships are open for all to apply and offer financial help while you are studying. There are scholarships for students with high academic achievement, from rural areas, studying specific degrees, in disadvantaged groups, experiencing financial hardship, who excel at sport or want to live in a UNE residential college.
UNE scholarship applications are free and confidential. You may apply for more than one scholarship.
Scholarships
UNE offers bursaries and scholarships that can help you with the costs of studying and living in Australia.
The UNE International Bursary reduces the published annual tuition fees for international students by up to 20%. These bursaries are available for international students commencing coursework studies at UNE in 2024. View detailed Bursary information.
UNE also offers a number of substantial research scholarships to postgraduate students studying research-based degrees.

As an international student you can take advantage of flexible online study from overseas or while you are studying in Australia on a visa other than a student visa. You can’t study fully online on a Student Visa.
To study online from overseas you need to consider that you may need to travel to Australia to attend a UNE campus for some mandatory intensive schools.
Studying on Campus
Whether you are an undergraduate student coming to study in Australia for the first time, a PhD student coming to live here with your family, or you only need short-stay accommodation whilst in Armidale for Intensive Schools, we have the perfect accommodation option for you.
