Overview
Combine two major subjects into one degree and expand your future career opportunities.
- Four years of full-time study
- Personalise your degree to suit your interests, strengths and career plans as you choose from hundreds of subject combinations
The Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc) will enable you to combine your passion for arts and science in one degree.
Today's workplaces demand a different kind of graduate. The ability to think critically, solve problems and work as a team could prove advantageous in your future career. Studying for a multidisciplinary degree demonstrates adaptability and resourcefulness – skills that many employers are seeking.
Tackling big world issues requires multi-faceted solutions that may include new technology and scientific breakthroughs, but will also require an understanding of their impact on people and society.
The BASc will give you scientific capabilities as well as knowledge of human history, how people think, and how societies function so that you are better able to engage in areas such as global health, security, food production and climate change.
