Bachelor of Science (Science) (Honours)

You can choose from the following disciplines: applied geology, chemistry, computer science, environment and agriculture, geographic information science, mathematical sciences, physics, or geophysics. Note that Geographic Information Science and Geophysics are not available for semester 2 applications.

To be admitted, you need to have completed an Australian Bachelor of Science or equivalent in your chosen specialisation, with a course weighted average (CWA) of 65% or above in the highest level units. STAT entry and TAFE/VET pathways are not accepted for this course.

Two intakes are offered each year in March and August, except for the Chemistry Honours Major which has a January (Trimester 1) and August intake. Prospective students should note that places may not always be available for the August intake.

During the Honours year, you will study units in your chosen discipline, examine academic research methodology, enhance your analytical skills and innovative ideas, complete a supervised research project, and present an honours dissertation.

The 2026 indicative fee is $9,600 for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government, which pays part of the course fees directly to Curtin, and the student pays the remainder as the student contribution amount, which can be deferred to a HECS-HELP loan.
