Course Overview

About This Course

The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts is a dual-degree pathway to two separate degrees: the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts. Students gain all the benefits of each degree course and are fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in their chosen work. Students might pair Criminology with Chemistry and take Human Rights or Pharmacology as a minor to focus on forensic science, or combine Human Geography with Ecology and Conservation Biology for a career in the environmental sector; those focused on life sciences might combine Psychology with Politics and take minors in Bioethics or Developmental Biology and Language Studies. With 60+ study areas available for combination, the choice is extensive.
