Study Options
At UTS Science, choice is the name of the game. With more than 20 degrees to choose from, students can create a study plan that reflects their personal and professional goals.
Read more about UTS Science Programs.
Specialist degrees: These highly focused courses take students on a deep dive into their chosen area of science. Choices include Environmental Biology, Forensic Science, Marine Biology and Climate Change, Mathematical Sciences, Medical Science and Molecular Biotechnology.
Bachelor of Science: With eight majors and extensive elective choices, the Bachelor of Science is for students who want to create a degree that’s uniquely theirs. Major choices (Physics, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Medical Science, Flexible) are split between a Life Sciences stream and a Mathematical and Physical Sciences stream; students can pick and choose subjects to build a customised learning plan.
Bachelor of Advanced Science: Designed for high-achieving students, the Bachelor of Advanced Science delivers specialist learning in Pre-medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or Quantum Technologies. Students prepare for further study or for a career at the forefront of contemporary science.
Combined degrees: UTS Science or Mathematics degrees can be combined with another course in areas such as business, international studies, creative intelligence and innovation, engineering or law. A combined degree gives students two qualifications in one and expands their career potential, all in less time than it would take to complete two consecutive courses.
Where learning comes to life
Real-world experience: UTS Science is the home of hands-on learning. Course content combines theory, lab and practical experience, equipping students with the skills of their future professions. They’ll also have the chance to working alongside world-leading researchers and industry practitioners, building connections that count from early in their degrees.
World-leading facilities: UTS Science has undergone a massive upgrade as part of a billion-dollar redevelopment of the UTS City Campus. Students learn in award-winning, purpose-built teaching and research laboratories, including the UTS Science Super Lab and Hive Super Lab (all students), the Crime Scene Simulation Labs (Forensic Science students), the Microstructural Analysis Unit (Physics students) and the Surgical and Anatomical Science Facility (Advanced Science students). They can also access a range of collaborative spaces for group work and social activities.
Read more about our facilities.
Global and internship opportunities: Science is a global profession. At UTS, we encourage our students to develop a global mindset by offering travel and internship opportunities that can take them around the world. They can spend one or two sessions studying overseas (Global Exchange), engage with local and international leadership and global citizenship experiences (BUILD) or get a taste of international internships, either virtually or face to face (Global Short Programs).

Getting ready to study
Bridging courses: Students can build skills and confidence in preparation for university study with an intensive bridging course(s) in biology, mathematics, physics or chemistry. Read more about UTS Bridging courses.
Scholarships: We’re committed to celebrating achievement and removing barriers to education. That’s why UTS and UTS Science offer a wealth of scholarships for high achievers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, and students experiencing disadvantage. Read more about UTS scholarships and UTS Science scholarships.
Course start dates: In most cases, local students can commence their UTS Science studies at the beginning of the year (February/March) or mid-year (July/August). Some courses are also available in summer.
