About Us

Over the last 4 years no Australian university has reach more success in attaining positive outcome for its graduates. No university has a better understanding of the requirements of International Students. It's why more than half of our 20,000 strong student body travel from all over the world to study at CQU. Our success is dependent on our students' accomplishments. To realise that, no stone has been left unturned.

Bachelor of Science (Specialisation)

Scientists study natural phenomena of every imaginable sort - from the physical to the biological to the social. Science studies at CQU include biological sciences, industrial chemistry, biotechnology, marine ecology, mathematics and physics.

If you're interested in the fundamental questions of life, and in using your knowledge to make sure the quality of our environment is improved and our lives safe and healthy, a degree in science may be for you. 

The Bachelor of Science is a flexible program which allows students the choice of specialising in one of the following five specialisations: aquatic resource management, biological sciences, marine ecology, biotechnology or industrial chemistry. Students first complete a foundation year appropriate to their area of specialisation, followed by second and third year study in the selected specialisation (one of aquatic resources management, marine ecology, biological sciences, biotechnology, or industrial chemistry), plus a complementary co-plan.

A wide range of co-plans are available, including psychology, geography, environmental science, biomedical sciences, information technology and occupational health and safety. High achieving graduates can undertake one further year of full-time study to complete an honours degree in their chosen area of specialisation.
