La Trobe's Bachelor of Science offers you foundational skills in science and the freedom to delve into your passions. Whether it's protecting endangered animals, developing new ways to treat disease or fighting climate change, you'll be ready to pursue your dream journey in science by tailoring your degree with a mix of majors and minors.
As you learn from leading academics and researchers, you'll take a deep dive into science – not only scientific concepts, but also how scientists think, work and share their findings.
Build skills in problem-solving, communication and collaboration – all highly sought after by employers – then use these skills to come up with innovative solutions to real-world problems.
Personalise your learning so you can spend time focusing on the areas that really interest you. Choose from majors in a range of fields, including botany, statistics, microbiology, genetics, data science and more, and learn from academics who are leaders in their fields.
You'll have opportunities to put theory into practice through work placements with our industry partners. Previous students have undertaken placements with CSIRO, Bayer Crop Science and various State and Federal Government departments.

- Professional scientific thinking: Learn how science contributes new knowledge and finds solutions to problems in our society.
- Communicating as a professional scientist: Gain experience communicating to a range of audiences, both in written and verbal formats.
- Lab and fieldwork skills: Learn how to collect data and use specialist technical skills to develop new findings in the laboratory and in the field.

From treating disease to finding new ways to create energy, molecular biology helps us solve some of the world’s biggest problems.
Explore physiology, chemistry, biochemistry and analytical techniques to learn how organisms function and the interactions that underlie biological systems and life itself. Gain an in-depth understanding of topics including the biology of cells and organisms, clinical and metabolic biochemistry, haematology, and human pathophysiology.
