Leading to: Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science lets you design your own degree based on your strengths and emerging interests. From Chemistry to Palaeontology, Genetics to Geophysics... we support your scientific curiosity.

What will you do?
Whether you want to use your critical thinking to help drive global change or join the cutting-edge of research, our Bachelor of Science will give you the skills you need. You will:

• Become an adaptable scientist as you learn the skills to evolve with one of the fastest-growing sectors
• Learn from world-class researchers who are experts in their field
• Develop connections in the science world through internships
• Engage with new ideas through discovery and experiential learning
• Develop in-depth discipline knowledge through a major
• Build highly sought-after skills in communication, critical thinking and creative problem solving
• Access research facilities of international significance.

Major: Evolutionary Biology
Evolutionary biology tracks and investigates the changes that occur in plants and animals over time. It incorporates the study of genetics, systematic biology, zoology and behavioural biology. An evolutionary biologist might work in a lab with genetic material from plant species or study the behaviour of a particular species of frog.

You’ll learn from world-class researchers who are experts in their field as you:

• Explore the evolutionary history of animals, plants and humans through genetics, forensic science, palaeontology, developmental biology and bioinformatics
• Discover modern DNA techniques and ‘travel through time’ to assess the impacts of past environmental change on our world
• Learn through hands-on experiences and extensive fieldwork
• Explore human evolution and migration through key collaboration with the South Australian Museum and Aboriginal families and communities around Australia
• Take advantage of world-class research opportunities.
